Our Mold Remediation Process

Choosing a restoration company like RX Restoration, with expertise in mold remediation, is crucial. An improperly handled mold issue can cause spores to spread throughout the property. Mold remediation is a meticulous process due to its potential health hazards. Here is our mold remediation process:

1. Mold Testing & Mold Inspection: We start by conducting a comprehensive inspection of the property to identify visible mold growth and the underlying moisture sources causing it. Mold testing is performed to determine the type and extent of the mold present, which is crucial for developing an effective remediation plan.
2. Containment: The affected area is isolated, typically using plastic sheeting and tape to prevent the spread of mold spores. Sometimes, negative air pressure is employed to keep mold spores contained.
3. Air Filtration: We use HEPA filters and air scrubbers to cleanse the air of mold spores and other particulates, maintaining air quality and preventing mold spore distribution during the remediation process.
4. Mold Removal: Depending on the surfaces involved, different removal methods are used. Non-porous materials may be cleaned and saved, while porous materials like drywall or carpet may need to be discarded and replaced. We use special cleaning agents and antimicrobials to eliminate the mold.
5. Restoration and Prevention: After mold removal, we identify and rectify the root cause of mold to prevent recurrence. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden water sources, repair any water damage, and improve ventilation with systems like dehumidifiers and air scrubbers. Waterproofing vulnerable areas and regular maintenance, such as leak inspections and plumbing checks, are essential preventive measures. A final inspection and air quality testing confirm the success of the remediation and the safety of the environment.
   

Who Pays for Mold Remediation?

Your homeowner's insurance may cover mold remediation if the cause of the mold damage is a sudden, accidental event, such as burst pipes or water heater leaks flooding your basement. However, if the mold growth is due to a lack of property maintenance, you may be responsible for the cost of mold remediation. We encourage regular property checkups and timely repairs to prevent such situations.

Mold Remediation Cost

The cost of mold remediation in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas typically ranges from $2.50 to $20 per square foot, depending on several factors:

• Extent of Mold Infestation: Larger areas with extensive mold growth generally cost more to remediate than smaller, isolated incidents.
• Type of Mold: Some molds are more challenging to remove and require specialized techniques and equipment, impacting the overall cost.
• Location of Mold: Mold in hard-to-reach or confined spaces like crawl spaces or attics may require more labor and equipment, increasing the cost.
• Source of Moisture: Identifying and addressing the source of moisture that led to the mold growth is crucial. Repairing leaks or other moisture issues add to the remediation cost.
• Material Contamination: If mold has contaminated building materials like drywall, insulation, or flooring, the cost may rise due to the need for removal and replacement of these materials.
  

What Type of Mold Do We Work With?

At RX Restoration, we can handle every type of mold. Regardless of the mold type, location, or severity, we can devise a strategy to completely remove the mold from your property. We work with:
