MOULD REMEDIATION
Mitigation, Clean up and Restoration
Mould plays a vital role in the environment by decomposing and recycling organic materials like dead leaves. It spreads by releasing tiny spores that are carried through the air. When these spores land in areas with sufficient moisture and a food source, they may begin to grow. Mould can appear on various surfaces, including wood, paint, fabric, paper, and soil. If mould growth becomes extensive, it can lead to significant structural damage to buildings. In certain situations, indoor mould growth may pose health risks, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems.
​
Mould growth can pose significant challenges for both residential and commercial properties. If not addressed promptly, it can result in health concerns, damage to property, and poor indoor air quality. At Restocare, we provide expert mould inspection services to detect mould, evaluate the severity of the issue, and offer tailored solutions for effective remediation. Our skilled team utilizes cutting-edge techniques and top-tier equipment to deliver precise and dependable results.

Professional Mould Remediation Process
1. Inspection
Inspecting for mould involves a thorough examination of your property to identify any visible signs of growth and assess areas that may be prone to moisture, such as basements, bathrooms, and behind walls. Restocare engages the use of specialized tools like moisture meters and thermal cameras to detect hidden mould and moisture issues. This process helps to determine the extent of the problem, identify potential health risks, and guide effective remediation strategies to prevent further damage and improve indoor air quality.
​
2. Containment
Containment is a critical step in mould remediation, designed to prevent the spread of mould spores to unaffected areas of a property during the cleaning process. This involves isolating the contaminated areas using barriers, airlocks, and negative air pressure systems to contain spores and prevent cross-contamination. By creating a controlled environment, containment helps to limit exposure to mould, ensuring that remediation efforts are focused on the affected areas while protecting the rest of the property. This controlled approach is essential for both effective mould removal and safeguarding the health of occupants.
​
3. Elimination
Affected areas are cleaned and treated using specialized cleaning agents and techniques to remove all visible mould and its spores. Professional-grade equipment such as HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers are used to ensure thorough removal. In some cases, porous materials like drywall or carpeting that have been contaminated may need to be removed for disposal.
​
4. Drying and Dehumidification
Proper ventilation and dehumidification are essential in preventing mould from returning, ensuring long-term success in mould remediation.
​
5. Clearance
At the end of every mould remediation job, Restocare can provide you with a clearance Certificate. This certificate is backed by Independent Environmental Professionals (Hygienists) as a bonus, the certification is time stamped and recorded this enables pre-maintenance works, with secure history of the building for landlords and peace of mind for home owners if a claimable insurance event arises in the future.
