Professional Mold Remediation Process

At Utah Flood Cleanup, we have developed mold abatement techniques (containment, construction and remediation) that comply with the guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Health Department. Furthermore, all of Utah Flood Cleanup's technicians are certified by the IIRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification). Each mold damage scenario is unique; therefore, our mold remediation experts create custom-designed solutions for our clients.; however here is the the typical mold abatement process outlined below.

Step One: Schedule Your Complimentary Mold Inspection and Damage Assessment Appointment

The first step in remedying your mold problem is to contact Utah Flood Cleanup's mold remediation specialists to schedule your on-site mold inspection and damage assessment appointment. During this appointment, one of our certified mold remediation experts will thoroughly inspect the property. He/She will be looking for visible signs of mold and evidence of water damage: In addition, our experts use various technologies to locate hidden water sources and mold.

Step Two: Containing the Mold

Advanced containment procedures are utilized to keep the mold from spreading. These procedures may include the creation of negative air chambers as well as the use of negative air pressure during the cleanup process. Preventing the mold from spreading requires that fans as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems remain off until the cleaning process is complete.

Step Three: Filtering the Air

Once the cleaning process is complete, specialized air filtration equipment is used to remove any microscopic mold spores that remain in the air. Furthermore, as the air is being filtered, our experts use powerful high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums and ‘air scrubbers’ to ensure mold spores are captured.

Step Four: Addressing Mold-Infested Materials

The amount of mold that is present and the surfaces that are affected determine the steps our experts take during your mold abatement process. For example, mold-infested carpeting must be removed and then disposed of properly. Antimicrobial and anti-fungal treatments may be necessary to prevent the formation of new mold colonies and to remove mold colonies that already exist.

Step Five: Testing to Ensure Mold Remediation Was Successful

Once the mold remediation process is complete, we test the work area to verify that the mold abatement process was successful and a certified clearance is achieved.

Mold Abatement FAQs

What is mold?

Mold is a connected system of microscopic fungal organisms that exists in virtually all environments. Mold thrives in humid areas and reproduces through airborne spores that are harmless enough in their own right, but when they find an optimal landing place and begin to grow, they can become problematic for home and business owners. Mold comes in a variety of colors, including green, red, purple, and black. Residential and commercial mold abatement companies are recommended to those experiencing mold infestations in their homes or commercial buildings.

Is black mold dangerous?

Exposure to black mold causes a variety of reactions in many people, including respiratory distress, sinus disorders, and contact dermatitis. Prolonged exposure has also been linked to depression. Fortunately, black mold abatement strategies exist to help those struggling with the question of how to abate black mold.

What does black mold look like?

Black mold is characterized by its distinctly dark color. It prefers dark, dank, unventilated locations and can frequently be found hiding behind automatic dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters as well as in cabinets in which plumbing fixtures are held, which is why it’s important to check these areas for any sign of mold on a regular basis. If you suspect black mold may have gained a foothold in your home or business, don’t hesitate to contact your local certified mold abatement contractors at Utah Flood Cleanup.

What kills Mold?

Mild mold infestations can sometimes be killed using a variety of over-the-counter mold abatement products containing bleach and other harsh chemicals. Natural substances such as white vinegar and baking soda may be effective for killing small patches of mold, but many consumers prefer to play it safe and contact a Utah mold abatement company instead of taking their chances on home remedies.

How does mold grow?

Mold requires adequate moisture and nutrients in order to grow. It reproduces by creating airborne spores, which then travel through the air and begin establishing new mold colonies after landing on surfaces that meet their requirements for growth. Mold abatement contractors at Utah Flood Cleanup are trained in stopping mold growth in SLC, Utah.

What does mold abatement mean?

The definition of mold abatement is to remove mold colonies from a home or business. Utah Flood Cleanup in North Ogden, Utah can provide you with more information on how to get rid of mold for good.

Does homeowners insurance cover mold abatement?

The majority of homeowners insurance policies cover mold abatement provided the cause is what they term a “covered peril,” such as fire, vandalism, frozen pipes that subsequently burst, and accidents involving water appliances. It won’t cover mold issues caused by excess humidity, maintenance issues that reasonable care would have corrected such preventable water leaks, and flooding.

Why is mold abatement important?

The presence of mold results in substantial health issues in many people, and it’s not a condition that will go away on its own. It’s particularly dangerous for infants, the elderly, and anyone with a weakened immune system. Please feel free to contact Utah Flood Cleanup at your convenience for more information on how to get rid of mold in your home or business.

How common is mold in buildings?

Various molds are very common inside all types of buildings. People often think that only black mold removal may become necessary, but there are several types of mold frequently found in homes. Molds are especially likely to be found in any building where there is excess moisture and abundant material that mold consumes as food. For example, mold may be found where condensation accumulates around windows or along walls with plumbing pipes. Mold can spread on cardboard, paper products, wood, dust, upholstery, other fabrics, carpet, wallpaper, drywall covering, and other materials.

How do molds get in the indoor environment, and how do they grow?

Mold spores are often blown into homes, businesses, and industrial buildings through open doors, windows, HVAC vents, etc., or carried on shoes, clothing, pets, etc. When the spores drift into areas with moisture, such as around a bathroom sink or shower, or where a pipe has been leaking, etc., they can grow. Materials that provide food for mold with the nutrients it needs to grow can include any form of moist cellulose material, such as cardboard, paper products, wood, dust, wallpaper, insulation or drywall sheathing, carpet, upholstery, and other fabrics.

How do you know if you have a mold problem?

A musty odor or a visible large mold infestation can make a mold problem obvious, but if the mold infestation is hidden behind a wall, in the ceiling, or under the floor, a professional inspection will be necessary to locate and remove mold from the property. Widespread mold infestation requires qualified handling. Especially if you have had recent indoor flooding and suspect a mold infestation has resulted, you should have a thorough inspection of the structure. A Utah mold abatement specialist can locate and eliminate all mold using commercial mold abatement equipment and processes.

How do molds affect people?

Exposure to mold can cause a number of moderate to severe adverse health effects. These reactions can be especially concerning for people with mold sensitivity, respiratory conditions, children, elderly people, and those with long-term daily exposure to widespread mold infestation:

NOTE: Research has indicated a possible link between early mold exposure and the onset of asthma in some children.

Who is most at risk for health problems associated with exposure to mold?

People with any of the following health conditions or other vulnerabilities to mold reactions should see a physician for diagnosis and treatment after exposure to a mold infestation:

How do you keep mold out of buildings and homes?

Periodically inspect your home, garage, storage buildings, and workplace for signs of water damage or mold growth as a part of your regular maintenance routine. Make all necessary repairs and disinfect all areas that are at risk of mold growth. For example, where condensation accumulates, water damage from leaks has occurred, or indoor flooding due to a roof leak or broken pipe has occurred. There is also a high risk of mold infestation where water has been used to put out a fire in a home or commercial building. To help prevent mold from spreading in your home:

Maintain low humidity.
Repair roof leaks immediately.
Keep window frames, walls, and ceilings dry.
Keep walls and floors around plumbing pipes dry.
Ventilate kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
Have professional structural drying after indoor flooding.

Have a significant mold removal performed by a qualified mold abatement company to prevent a larger infestation.

I was corrected and they are still in business. Talked to Daryl and he’s a great guy. Would definitely send work his way if I ever need it.

We had a leak in our roof while we were out of town. Daryl was so helpful and responded quickly so we were able to get our wood floor dried out to avoid damage to the floor. He was very professional and knew exactly what needed to be done.

I contact Daryl about wanting to have a mold inspection done in my crawl space. He was incredibly nice and immediately booked at time with me. When he arrived at the house, he carefully did his work, showed me the results of the tests. Thankfully there was no mold. But, even better, he took the time to show me and explain a few areas of concern for the future. Really incredible service. I wish everyone was so professional. I couldn't recommend someone more highly. 5 star!

Daryl with Utah Flood Clean Up, came to inspect a previous roof leak that had left some moisture in our walls. He was very honest about his findings and detailed with the information for removing it! I am a General Contractor and I won’t use anyone else!

Sadly, I've had to use Utah Flood Cleanup 4 times in the last year! I really appreciate how quickly they responded to each casualty. They were there right away! Daryl, the owner, gave me a price that was half of the other quote I got, and his men are professionals... not kids who don't have a clue. Plus, he included more "fixes" in his quote for less money. He is very knowledgeable and I felt very confident in his recommendations. He also worked directly with our insurance adjuster so that I didn't have to! I highly recommend this company.

I called Utah Flood Cleanup when I had a leak in the kitchen that drained down into the basement. Daryl came out shortly after speaking to me on the phone! He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He quickly and thoroughly assessed the situation, explaining everything he did as he went along. I was very impressed with how thorough he was in his examination of the damage. He let me know up front what I was looking at and I felt he was very honest and reasonable. I've had other companies out who seem to know very little and just want to start ripping everything out at once! Daryl explained and showed me why he recommended what he did and I felt very comfortable and confident in his recommendations. I highly recommend this company!! You won't be sorry.

We wanted our house checked for mold due to a moderately high mold count in the air sample. They were very thorough and found only one small spot in the bathroom that needed attention. They advised on our options for dealing with it and did not propose expensive and unnecessary repairs.

Within the last year we had a major flood in the basement, and just today had another water issue that flooded a smaller portion of the basement. I called The Flood Company immediately and they were on-site within an hour or so. I'm extremely pleased with The Flood Co. The professionalism and expertise demonstrate by Jackson and Sam put my mind at ease, knowing we would be taken care of well. I would recommend The Flood Company to anyone in need of these services. They get a five star rating from us!

My main water line broke and our crawl space was flooding. I called my insurance company and they recommended these guys. Sam and Jesus showed up and got things taken care of. They stopped the water line and put fans to dry the area. The insurance process was super smooth I'm glad I called them!

Karla Maquin

Utah Flood Cleanup is amazing! Josh and Jesus stopped by after their shift and were kind enough to give us a free inspection of our flood problem. Our little 4 year old thought he'd make a sauna in the bathroom. He flipped the shower on and walked away. We never heard the water running and came upstairs to put my daughter to bed. Sure enough, the shower was pointed into the bathroom and flooded the whole thing. Josh and Jesus came out got the whole place inspected, pulled out themal meters and moisture meters and confirmed there was water damage (and old mold growth from previous spills). They grabbed their tools and began demolishing the floor themselves, right then and there so we could get fans on it to prevent future mold growth. I hope I never have another flood but if I do, I'm definitely calling them again! They're the best!!~~~

I called in the morning and they came that afternoon. Chris and Jesus came. They were professional, polite, knowledgeable and they quickly got the place all cleaned up and prepped for the repair. Then they recommended some handymen to do the repair. I hired Hank and he was great too. Did the whole job in one day.

You showed up to our house based upon little information. When you got here you went right to work looking to see what was going on. With being a family of 7, it can be a scramble being out of a bathroom and no shower. You were excellent and so kind on letting us know what our options are and what you can do to resolve the problem in our basement bathroom. With being in our new home, not even making a second mortgage payment yet, it is hard to discover there is mold and a water leak through out the basement bathroom and laundry room. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to come to our house. My brother in law referred us to you, and it was the best referral, so thank you very much.
