What Is Microbial Remediation?
Microbial remediation is the process of identifying, containing, removing, and preventing harmful microbial growth. This specialized cleaning, antimicrobial treatment, and moisture control process helps stop mold, bacteria, and other fungi from growing and spreading throughout your home or business.
What Causes Microbial Growth Indoors?
There are different factors that could be causing microbial growth within your home or business, but the root cause is always going to be centered on excess moisture. That means water damage from leaks or flooding, indoor humidity, roofing or plumbing leaks, poor ventilation, and condensation buildup can all create the right conditions for microbial growth to become an issue inside your property.
How Do I Know When I Need Microbial Remediation At My Home or Business?
You’ll notice clear indicators that you’re in need of a microbial remediation project at your property. Some signs include the presence of musty or earthy odors, visible mold growth, water damage, peeling paint or warped materials, and increased allergy or respiratory symptoms. When any of these problems arise, it’s best to call in professionals like the ones on our team at Environment Control Restoration.
Is Microbial Growth a Dangerous Problem?
It certainly can be, especially when left untreated. Certain types of mold and bacteria can trigger allergies, asthma attacks, skin conditions, and other health issues. That’s a problem for you and your loved ones at home, or if this is a problem within a commercial setting, it can also create liability risks and potentially even disrupt your operations.
How Does the Microbial Remediation Process Work?
There are several key steps in the microbial remediation process, all of which the experts at Environment Control Restoration have down to a science. This is a process that will usually include:
- Inspection and assessment of moisture levels
- Containment of any affected areas to ensure the prevention of cross-contamination
- Removal of contaminated materials when necessary
- HEPA filtration and air scrubbing
- Cleaning and antimicrobial treatment work
- Drying and moisture control
Ultimately, the goal is more than just the removal of these microbes. We want to ensure that we’ve addressed the source—underlying moisture problems—to prevent this from becoming a recurring problem at your property.
How Long Will the Microbial Remediation Process Take?
The timeline of a microbial remediation project depends on the scope, both in terms of the size of the affected area of your property as well as the severity of the contamination. Smaller areas with less serious contamination levels can be handled within 1 to 3 days, while larger projects may take several days or longer, especially depending on the time needed for the drying and moisture control, as well as any repairs.
What Steps Can I Take to Prevent Microbial Growth in the Future?
When it comes to preventing microbial growth within your home or commercial property, it’s all about controlling moisture. That’s why it’s important to:
- Fix leaks quickly
- Maintain proper ventilation
- Use dehumidifiers in damp areas
- Monitor humidity levels
- Schedule regular inspections
