Mold Removal & Air Testing
We identify hidden mold, remove contamination, and conduct air quality testing to ensure your home is safe, breathable, and compliant with health standards.
Mold isn’t just unsightly—it can pose serious health risks and structural issues if left untreated. At Cerito Development Inc Restoration and Mitigation, we specialize in identifying mold at its source, even in hidden areas behind walls, under flooring, and inside HVAC systems. Using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and advanced testing equipment, we pinpoint exactly where mold is growing and assess the level of contamination. Once identified, we take swift and thorough action to contain the affected area and prevent the mold from spreading further.
Comprehensive Mold Inspection and Moisture Mapping
Mold can develop in less than 48 hours when moisture is present, often in places you can’t see—behind drywall, inside crawl spaces, or under flooring. That’s why we begin every mold service with an extensive inspection process. Using tools like hygrometers, infrared cameras, and borescopes, we track moisture levels and map out areas of concern. These diagnostics help us understand not just where the mold is growing, but why, allowing us to create a strategy for both removal and long-term prevention.
Mold Containment and Safe Removal
Once mold is identified, containment is the first critical step. We seal off affected areas using negative air pressure and physical barriers to prevent spores from migrating to other parts of the home. This step is essential not just for efficiency, but for protecting the air quality in unaffected areas. During this stage, we also ensure all team members are wearing protective gear to adhere to strict safety protocols.
Our mold removal process includes HEPA vacuuming, detailed surface cleaning, and antimicrobial application to kill remaining spores and prevent regrowth. In cases of severe damage, materials such as drywall, carpet, or insulation may be removed and replaced. Every contaminated surface is cleaned according to IICRC guidelines to ensure thoroughness. Once removal is complete, we perform a secondary inspection to verify that the space is clean and safe before any reconstruction or restoration begins.
Air Quality Testing and Environmental Clearance
After mold has been removed, it’s critical to validate the results through post-remediation air testing. We collect air samples from both inside the treated space and from unaffected reference areas, which are then analyzed by certified labs. These reports verify whether spore levels are within safe, acceptable ranges and help confirm that the remediation was successful.
This testing not only provides peace of mind for you and your family but also creates documentation for landlords, homebuyers, or insurance purposes. If any readings fall outside acceptable thresholds, we continue treatment and testing until the space meets clearance standards. This step ensures that you are breathing clean, healthy air and that your home is fully compliant with environmental health recommendations.
Preventative Solutions and Long-Term Moisture Control
Mold removal is only part of the solution—preventing it from coming back is equally important. That’s why Cerito Development Inc provides a full assessment of what caused the mold in the first place. Whether it’s a hidden leak, poor ventilation, or high humidity levels, we identify the root cause and recommend structural or mechanical improvements to fix it. This might include waterproofing, installing vapor barriers, improving drainage, or adding dehumidification systems.
