It is best to hire reputable, experienced professionals to clean and remove molds from affected areas. Doing so will limit potential exposures to employees and the possible spread of molds to other areas.
Professionals are better equipped to construct work containment areas, manage the flow of air during cleanup, handle cleaning chemicals &/or biocides, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) as well as identify impacted materials that will need to be treated or discarded.
Consider performing sampling to help document the effectiveness of the cleanup activities and record mold and mold spore concentrations post-cleanup.
Cleanup activities can be considered complete when the moisture source has been controlled, visible molds and odors are no longer present, and people are able to re-occupy the affected areas without physical symptoms.
