Sample job
A San Jose customer in their any era; older homes more vulnerable home had been chasing black mold growing on drywall behind a wallpapered bathroom for weeks before calling. Slow leak from a shower valve had been wetting the drywall for 18+ months was the actual cause. We S520 containment, removed all affected drywall and tile substrate, treated framing with antimicrobial, post-remediation verification testing passed; everything stable since. About $356 all in.
Scope of work
Mold work follows IICRC S520 protocol: contain the area first to prevent spore spread, then remediate. Skipping containment is the #1 mistake unlicensed mold contractors make.
We set up plastic barrier walls around the affected area, run negative air pressure with HEPA-filtered air scrubbers (typically 4-6 air changes per hour), and the crew works in PPE inside the contained area.
Visible mold growth on porous materials (drywall, carpet, padding, fabric) is removed and bagged. Hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
After remediation, we run post-remediation verification (PRV) testing — usually third-party — to confirm the affected area returns to baseline.
