Our Mold Remediation Process

We follow a rigorous, multi-step process to ensure thorough mold remediation. Every situation is different, but here are the general steps we follow:

Inspection and Testing: We begin by comprehensively inspecting and testing your property to identify the extent of the mold problem.

Containment: Next if mold is found, we isolate the affected area to prevent mold spores from spreading to uncontaminated parts of your property.

HEPA Air Scrubbing: Using advanced HEPA filters, we clean the air in the affected area, capturing 99% of airborne mold spores.

Removal of Affected Materials: If necessary, we carefully remove contaminated materials like drywall or insulation, taking precautions to minimize spore disturbance.

HEPA Vacuuming: We use specialized HEPA vacuum cleaners to capture nearly all remaining mold spores.

Antimicrobial Cleaning: The affected area is thoroughly cleaned with antimicrobial chemicals to prevent future mold growth.

Encapsulation: When appropriate, we apply specialized sealants to encapsulate any remaining mold spores. This process helps prevent future mold growth and can be particularly effective for porous surfaces or areas where complete removal isn’t feasible.

Final Cleanup: We perform a final cleanup to ensure your property is safe and mold-free.

Mold in Yankton: What You Need to Know

Yankton and the southern part of South Dakota face unique mold challenges due to the local climate and geography. Here are some common mold issues in our area:

Crawl Space Mold: Many homes in our area have crawl spaces rather than full basements. These areas are particularly susceptible to moisture and mold growth due to their proximity to the ground.

Seasonal Flooding: Spring thaws and heavy rains can lead to flooding, particularly in low-lying areas near the Missouri River. This creates ideal conditions for mold to thrive in affected properties.

Winter Condensation: Our cold winters can create condensation issues in poorly insulated homes, leading to mold growth in attics, walls, and around windows.

HVAC System Mold: The stark temperature differences between our hot summers and cold winters mean HVAC systems work overtime, potentially leading to mold growth if not properly maintained.

Basement Mold: Basements are common in South Dakota homes, including those in Yankton. These below-grade spaces are particularly susceptible to moisture problems and mold growth, especially in older homes or those near water sources like the Missouri River.
