Water Extraction, Microbial Remediation and Restoration ProceduresIn hot and humid environments such as the greater Houston and surrounding areas, mold can become a problem. The nonprofit Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) recommends you contact a certified professional to ensure that mold is removed correctly and occupants are protected throughout the job.Mold and other microbial contaminates become a problem inside a home when there is excessive humidity or moisture in the home. The problem can originate from sudden water releases such as a burst pipe, a large spill or sudden area flooding, or from a chronic problem such as a leaking roof, a malfunctioning appliance, deteriorating plumbing or overflow from the emergency condensate pan of your HVAC system. Even high humidity or warm moist air condensing on cool surfaces can trigger mold problems. YES Carpet Cleaning in Houston, TX is here to help resolve all issues associated with water damage in your home.
- To prevent further contamination, a professional must first contain the area then conduct a thorough inspection.
- The source/s of humidity and flooding are located and addressed.
- For area flooding furniture and other movable items are removed and addressed separately.
- Heavily contaminated materials are isolated, removed and properly disposed of.
- Wet materials are then dried. This includes the use of pumps, wet vacuums, dehumidifiers and blowers.
- Carpets and upholstery are then cleaned with commercial grade, truck-mounted deep steam cleaning equipment.
- If air ducts are wet or contaminated with mold or other microbes, negative pressure is created to prevent debris and spores from spreading to unaffected areas while the ducts are cleaned.
- EPA approved sanitizers and deodorizers are then used to kill any remaining spores and to further protect the cleaned areas from future contamination for up to six months.
- Replacement materials are then installed or recommendations given for purchasing replacement materials from dependable sources.
