The process
The black mold removal process in Covington, TX
Assess
Moisture readings and visual inspection of color and location form the initial assessment before any species identification.
Sample
If species confirmation is needed, a sample can be sent to an independent lab rather than making assumptions on site.
Contain
Plastic barriers and negative air pressure isolate the work area to prevent spore spread into other parts of the home.
Remove
Contaminated porous materials are removed, double-bagged, and disposed of under HEPA filtration by suited technicians.
Confirm
Moisture levels and surfaces are verified, cleaned framing is sealed, and containment remains until readings are acceptable.
