ACM’s industrial hygiene staff are available to perform visual inspections, and to collect and analyze samples to determine what molds are present and design remediation options for mitigation. Services are tailored to the requirements of your specific circumstances.
ACM’s mold technicians are trained for projects involving indoor spaces, including crawlspaces, attics, sumps, and other difficult to access areas. We offer several remediation options, including dry ice blasting equipment. This technology is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly methods of mold remediation.
Visible mold growth on walls, ceilings, insulation, or flooring. Even more so after water leaks or flooding.
Persistent musty odor or humidity issues in crawl spaces, attics, basements.
Allergy, asthma, or respiratory symptoms in occupants without other causes.
Before buying or selling property; for rental turnover; or inspections referencing mold treatment.
If you see or smell mold, don’t wait. Signs might include the following:
If someone in the building has allergies or respiratory issues, or if mold shows up during a rental turnover or inspection, that’s a good time for professional mold remediation and mold treatment.
Our team of mold remediation specialists is certified under ANSI/IICRC S520, so you get service that meets professional mold treatment standards.
We test, document, and follow best practices like using HEPA filtration, protective containment, and safe cleanup methods.
Our mold contractors handle everything from damaged drywall or carpet removal to detailed cleaning and report-back so you know the job was done right.
Treating HVAC systems if they harbor moisture or mold, so air isn’t circulating spores.
Clearing hidden mold behind walls, under carpets, in attics or crawlspaces.
Handling delicate or historic surfaces with care, sometimes using test patches first.
Removing porous materials vs cleaning hard surfaces depending on damage.
Helping you maintain lower humidity and better ventilation to keep mold from coming back.
What exactly is mold remediation and mold removal?
Mold remediation is the full process of identifying mold growth, treating and cleaning contaminated materials (mold removal), and making sure the space stays dry and safe.
Do I need mold testing before remediation or removal?
Not always. If you can see mold, smell mold, or have water/moisture problems, it’s usually better to start the remediation and removal process and fix the moisture source. Testing is helpful when the mold source is hidden, or if you need verification for insurance or health reasons.
What is ANSI/IICRC S520 and why does it matter?
It’s the professional standard for mold remediation. It lays out how to inspect, contain, remove, clean, treat, and verify mold removal properly.
Can mold return even after remediation?
Yes, if moisture isn’t controlled. The standard includes fixing leaks, managing humidity, drying properly, and maintaining prevention practices.
How do I know mold remediation was successful?
You should see no visible mold or staining, no musty odor, and dry materials. For many projects, a professional performs post-remediation verification via inspection or, optionally, sampling.
What methods are best for mold treatment?
A combination: removal or cleaning of moldy materials, drying and dehumidification, containment, HEPA vacuuming, possibly antimicrobial treatment after cleaning and drying.
Is it safe to stay in the building during mold remediation?
It depends on the scope. For small mold remediation or minor mold removal with good containment and protective equipment, occupants may stay in unaffected areas. For major mold growth or if HVAC is involved, temporary relocation may be safer.
