Mold Remediation Process

The region of Charleston is very susceptible to mold growth because of high moisture levels, with temps reaching the upper 80s in certain months.

Our local teams can contain and restore affected areas on your property. We follow a six-step mold remediation process to effectively return your space to its like-new condition:

1. Inspection: Our pros do a thorough walk-through to pinpoint any moldy areas and find the cause of the issue before a customized plan is initiated.
2. Containment: We contain the affected space to prevent cross-contamination in your building.
3. Air filtration: We come prepared with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to clean mold spores and other toxins in the air.
4. Removal: We determine which items can be sanitized (nonporous belongings) and which must be thrown away (porous materials).
5. Structural drying: Repaired and cleaned items are fully dried to prevent future mold problems.
6. Reconstruction: We use state-of-the-art equipment to reconstruct and repair spaces that are riddled with mold growth.

Causes of Mold

Mold loves to congregate and spread in places with high moisture. The humid climate in Charleston, for example, along with plumbing leaks, flooding from water damage, HVAC system problems, and window or roof leaks can all contribute to increased wetness.

Similarly, the age of your property, ventilation, and certain building materials (e.g., drywall, particleboard, and plywood) can also make mold growth worse. It is crucial to prioritize frequent inspections, repair any water leaks or plumbing problems, and check ventilation levels in your property.

This is where Rainbow Restoration of Charleston comes in. We offer thoughtful inspections to gauge and resolve contributing mold factors and provide customized solutions to mitigate mold growth and protect your investment.
