MOLD REMEDIATION
Mold remediation that contains the spores and dries the building from the bottom to the ceiling
Mold is rarely only what you can see. We contain the work, keep it from spreading, and fix the moisture that fed it.
Chapter 01
Why you cannot see the full extent of it
Mold remediation can be complex because you cannot always see the full extent of a mold problem. Mold is often hidden, only to be exposed after the removal of moldy materials begins. A stain on a cabinet side or a dark line along a baseboard can be the visible edge of something much bigger behind it.
Spores are everywhere. They are microscopic, they float in the air, and they can enter through windows, doors and even a home's HVAC system. Once water gets into a property, mold can start to grow in 48 hours or less.
That timing is why we answer the phone at (509) 388-1175 around the clock, every day of the year, across Yakima and the valley.

Containment, so cleaning does not spread the problem
The process of cleaning mold stirs up the spores. Done carelessly, that can contaminate other areas of the building right away and create an indoor air quality problem, which can quickly make the people living or working there sick.
So the job is built around prevention. Mold removal should prevent cross-contamination, keep occupants safe and keep mold from returning. In practice that means sealing off the affected area, controlling the air that moves through it, and not dragging contaminated material through clean rooms.
Mold growing indoors can cause allergies and make you feel sick. Containment is how we protect your family or staff while the work is going on.
Chapter 03
Drying bottom to ceiling, and the water comes first
Mold and moisture go together, so it spreads quickly wherever water remains. Choose a mold removal service that dries the property thoroughly, from the bottom all the way to the ceiling. That covers basements, foundations, flooring, walls and ceilings, as well as furniture and clothing.
Any water that remains must be addressed before mold removal can take place. If the moisture source stays, the mold comes back, no matter how well it was cleaned. We find the water, deal with it, and then remove the mold.
Because Complete Restoration and Construction also does the drying and the rebuild, your property is clean, safe and finished by one company.
