Properly performing mold removal and remediation must be done someone that is highly trained. Containment and air control, with the ability to eliminate loose particulate from entering in other rooms, or entering your central air / heat system, is the difference from keeping your entire home safe, or cross contaminating the structure and making the issue worse.

Mold Inspection and Testing

Mold Inspection

A visual inspection determines if advanced mold tests are required. Mold must have moisture to grow therefore the first step is determining if there is a current water leak, or if areas that are still wet and need to be dried to prevent mold growth. A site evaluation will be needed.

We provide independent, third party documented Mold Clearance Testing, also known as a Post Remediation Verification (PRV) or final mold inspection at the end of every job. This step gives you peace of mind and ensures the mold removal was successful and is complete.

Effective Mold Removal and Remediation Steps

Using Advanced Technology to Prevent Mold from Returning

We use innovative technology to ensure excess moisture has been eliminated to prevent the mold from returning.

D.A.M.P. (Deep Assembly Moisture Profiling) utilizes small penetrating electronic sensors that can detect moisture deep inside the wall assembly, including the wood framing and insulation.  The data is collected, automatically documented and easily viewed in real time.

Many water damage and mold remediation companies still rely on inadequate non-penetrating moisture meters and infrared cameras that can only read the surface and partially into the drywall.

Our technology can provide the assurance the moisture issues have been fixed.

DAMP Home Moisture Testing to Prevent Mold
David Sweet COO NextGen Restoration

As a consultant, I train companies nationwide in the industry standards and how to properly dry structures. The terrifying truth is that most companies are simply not drying structures completely. While well intentioned, most restoration contractors do not have the tools necessary to find all the hidden moisture and resulting mold and contamination.

Our system has been designed from the ground up to provide a third-party validated, transparently reported accounting of everything that’s on the job so that nothing is left hidden on the project to harm you or your loved ones. Armed with the truth, we are willing to fight alongside you, to get the necessary work performed (as required by IICRC S500 & S520 industry standards) and the resulting bill honored by the insurance carrier.

Common Questions about Mold

Because every mold remediation job is different, our experts need to talk with you and get an idea of how large of an area might be affected and what caused the mold initially. Once we learn a little more about the situation, you can order a mold inspection if needed. We can even provide a comprehensive estimate and work plan for an additional fee, which will be applied to the project if NextGen’s services are utilized.

You won’t need testing to prove you have mold, but you need testing to confirm where the mold has spread, and what it has affected so a detailed scope of work can be written that includes not only all the damage to the building, but also the contents.

If you can smell mold it is actively reproducing and it’s time to get a professional on the project. Often times paint and other materials will mask the presence of mold, this is when sampling becomes necessary. Sampling can also determine the type of mold that is present.

If you’ve recently had water damage and were told it was dry, but now it smells musty, chances are your assemblies and material are still wet. It takes on average 7 to 15 days to dry most structures. We specialize in this type of mold issues.

There are chemicals, cleaners, fogs and sprays that promise to rid your home of mold. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) produces and maintains a consensus-based standard and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wrote a remediation guideline. The IICRC states that vapor based antimicrobials have not been shown to be able to effectively and safely be used for mold remediation.

There are many different types of mold. Some aren’t dangerous, while others lead to chronic and severe health conditions. Stachybotrys for example, is also called “toxic mold” because it produces mycotoxins that cause severe health problems.

If you think you have mold the first sign is a musty odor, peeling or bulging paint, gray, green or black patches and is often seen on ceilings, walls, or flooring. Mold usually grows in places such as under the carpet, behind walls, in attics and even in the bathroom.

Bleach won’t kill mold, it can only make it unable to reproduce. It leaves behind all the toxic components behind that can be inhaled and affect your health. Never use bleach on wood, carpet, drywall, etc., in an attempt to kill mold, you can cause additional damage.
