  2. Limit access. Keep the door shut if possible. Do not let pets or children near visible growth.
  3. Avoid spreading particles. Do not brush, sand or scrape mold without containment. Switch off any HVAC equipment suspected of containing mold.

Health and safety

Greater Kansas City Properties: Mold Removal Safety

Containment is important to keep clean rooms from receiving mold spores and dust when affected materials are disturbed.

Mold Spores Can Spread

Pulling up carpet or cutting into drywall may release particles. Negative air pressure and HEPA filtration help limit movement.

Color Does Not Measure Risk

Search terms include toxic mold and black mold. According to the CDC, mold color cannot tell you the level of risk.

Hidden Materials Can Stay Damp

Insulation, framing or subfloor may remain wet after a surface looks dry. Moisture readings help establish your affected area.

Some People Face More Risk

Mold can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms in some people. According to the CDC, higher risk applies to people with asthma, lung disease or weakened immune systems.

What you get

Choosing a Mold Remediation Company in Paola

Start With the Moisture Source

Request an explanation of how the leak or condensation or humidity issue will be identified and resolved.

Use Independent Clearance Testing

An independent assessor can perform any needed post-remediation verification so the company doing removal does not also check that work.

Ask for a Clear Scope of Work

Your scope should spell out repairs, cleanup and drying, identify affected materials and containment, and list what could alter the price.

Step by step

Understanding the Mold Remediation Process in Greater Kansas City

These mold remediation steps follow this order: assess the area, contain it, remove damaged material, clean, dry and verify the work, then take containment down.

  1. Mold Inspection and Moisture Mapping

    A moisture meter helps locate your moisture source and affected materials, with a thermal imaging camera used when helpful.

  2. Containment and Air Filtration

    Build your containment barrier using poly sheeting. Negative air pressure and a HEPA air scrubber, an air filtration device, limit particles moving into clean rooms.

  3. Removal of Damaged Materials

    Workers use protective equipment. Damaged porous materials may require demolition, including drywall removal.

  4. Surface Cleaning and Drying

    Clean remaining non-porous surfaces through damp wiping and use of a HEPA vacuum. Use moisture readings, a dehumidifier and air movers to guide drying.

  5. Final Cleaning and Verification

    Post-remediation verification may include a visual check, clearance testing or air sampling by an independent assessor.
