Services
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation process identifies moisture sources, contains contaminated areas with HEPA filtration, and safely removes mold-infested materials. We follow IICRC S520 standards to protect occupant health and prevent cross-contamination. Clients receive detailed education on mold prevention and documentation of completed remediation.
Air Duct Cleaning
We clean HVAC components including ducts, coils, and air handlers using industrial vacuums and specialized tools. This improves indoor air quality by removing dust, allergens, and microbial contaminants. Our technicians follow NADCA guidelines to ensure system efficiency and prevent recontamination.
Build Back
Our build-back process restores properties to pre-loss condition after remediation. We coordinate licensed contractors to replace drywall, flooring, and other materials while maintaining cost efficiency. This service ensures seamless transitions from remediation to full property restoration.
Asbestos Abatement
We safely remove asbestos-containing materials using negative pressure containment and HEPA filtration. Our technicians follow federal regulations for disposal at EPA-approved facilities. Clients receive documentation of proper abatement procedures and safety protocols.
Mold Education
We provide client education on mold growth causes, health risks, and prevention strategies. Our team explains moisture control techniques and post-remediation testing benefits. This empowers property owners to maintain mold-free environments long-term.
