We as a company are fully dedicated to improving the quality of the air in your home by following what we consider 5 very critical steps for a successful remediation.


  1. The willingness to work collaboratively with the customer, the Indoor Environmental
    Professional (IEP), and if applicable the recommendations of a physician, to determine
    what the best products are to be used for remediation and carefully follow the IEP’s
    step-by-step remediation plan.

  2. Strictly follow the IICRC S520 standards: These are the procedural standards for the
    remediation of mold damaged structures and contents, written for use by those involved in the mold remediation industry and is the result of collaboration among
    microbiologists and other scientists, public health professionals and industrial hygienists.

  3. The use of proper engineering controls such as containment barriers and HEPA air
    filtration devices (AFDs) in every proposed work area during the remediation is an
    essential part of the remediation in order to prevent cross contamination.

  4. Physically removing the mold and the mold contaminated materials rather than just
    treat it, fog it, or kill it.
    • Removing the mold contaminated material entails removing walls, ceilings,
      framing, carpets, none load bearing structures and household items like
      furniture Etc. All under the proper engendering controls)
    • This is followed by the critical step of physically removing the mold off of
      surfaces using various methods such as HEPA vacuuming, wiping, wire
      brushing, sanding, grinding and ice blasting, all under the proper engendering
      controls

  5. 3rd party independent post remediation testing and inspection is always recommended, in order to guarantee a successful remediation in the work/contained areas. We guarantee to pass a clearance test (both air and surfaces) performed by your IEP. This Is because our passion is to make your home and place of work healthier.

HOW IT WORKS

Read More


Many companies claim that they know how to remediate mold. However, what they do is not according to industry standards and actually make things worse by spraying the mold affected areas with chemicals, and then use blowers to spread spores in nearby areas and that's it. But that's not how it works, according to the EPA, even dead mold causes the same health problems that live mold does. Mold cannot be removed solely by cleaning the affected surfaces. For successful mold remediation, the mold contaminated material must be physically removed followed by the proper cleaning steps. In many cases, the mold is hidden within wall cavities or in inaccessible areas where it cannot just be cleaned, fogged, or sprayed. That’s when the removal of the actual contaminated material is crucial.

If you suspect that you have mold in your home, and that you or someone in your family has been exposed to mold, we suggest you first hire an IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional) such as a mold inspector or an industrial hygienist to assess your home. Once you receive their written report with recommendations, we will carefully review it and offer our services to help you take the next steps in implementing the recommended protocols. An experienced member of our team will visit your home or business in a timely fashion to evaluate the mold situation and/or HVAC system(s) cleaning needs, and will provide you with verbal and written information regarding the project and associated costs. Subsequently, Better Breathing Environmental will then work closely with your IEP and will adhere to their report. We will base the project on their recommendations to achieve a thorough and successful mold remediation and HVAC system cleaning following their protocols. To ensure that the remediation plan has been completed effectively, post-remediation testing by your IEP is always recommended.



OBJECTIVE

When it comes to mold and microbial growth, the objective in many cases can vary based on several factors such as the type of structure being remediated, the health conditions of the occupants and cost associated but the most common targets should include:

Helping the customer understand the problems that create moisture or uncontrolled
humidity so they can take the proper action.

Properly and safely remediate the mold and the microbial growth by removal and
not just cleaning, spraying or fogging.

Small particle cleaning to remove contaminants and mycotoxins by methods of air
scrubbing, fogging, HEPA vacuuming and wiping all affected surfaces and items.
