Summary of the Mold Project Job in Jersey City, NJ

Performed an on-site visual assessment worthy of a detective.

  • Mold spores won't be able to take a home thanks to containment zones and negative pressure.
  • Mold treatment was completed, which required maneuvering with the kitchen ceiling and cabinetry sections.
  • Cleaning, which included scraping, scouring, and sanding the kitchen ceiling and walls.
  • Treated the area with an anti-microbial, thereby making it immune to mold.
  • For three days: EQ air scrubber HEPA 500cfm, which is very much like a vacuum cleaner except for mold spores.
  • For three days: controlling the humidity in the kitchen using an EQ LGR dehumidifier, making it mold-free.

Leo, would you mind telling me about your recent experience on Apollo Street in Jersey City, NJ destroying mold?

Pleased to oblige! We stumbled upon a classic house that had become a mold playground, particularly in the kitchen. Imagine mold skulking around the undersides of the cabinets and the exhaust fan. It's a well-known anecdote about older buildings with stale ventilation systems.

So, what made the homeowner decide to summon the mold remediation heroes?

The sight of mold around the fan was the last straw after severe allergic reactions and an overwhelming musty smell.

Share some details about the investigation you conducted during the first assessment.

We scoured the whole house. The unattractive exhaust fan wasn't even doing its one function properly. To find any more mold colonies, we carefully examined the kitchen's airflow and structure.

After the mold inspection, what was your strategy?

Containing the mold with mold remediation equipment was our first activity. Placing obstacles and using negative air pressure is like telling mold spores, "You won't be able to pass through here!" Important for ensuring the safety of the remainder of the house during our mold campaign.

Which difficulties were encountered throughout the mold remediation of the kitchen on Apollo Street in Jersey City?

It resembled a game of Jenga in the kitchen. It took a delicate balance of deftness and elegance to delicately remove the mildewed cabinetry and ceiling components while evading the piping and wiring as a spy would evade a laser beam.

After the mold was removed, we started cleaning like crazy. Sanding, scraping, and cleaning with the artistry. After that, we cleaned the kitchen, which was like giving it a new outfit. An anti-microbial treatment, which created a protective barrier against mold, was the last step.

What do the dehumidifier and air scrubber do in this recent mold remediation job?

For three days straight, our reliable ally, the air scrubber, vacuumed up mold spores. In contrast, the dehumidifier served as a barrier to prevent mold growth in the kitchen by controlling the relative humidity.

Any advice for homeowners on how to keep their homes mold-free?

The kitchen fan should be kept running nonstop like it's trying to break a world record. Keep a close eye on the humidity level and deal with leaks quickly. The key is to create an environment in your house where mold is afraid to set foot.

What is the best way to take care of the treated areas?

Care for the cleaned areas is part of the post-mission process. Avoid using strong chemicals. Plus, keep in mind that we're just a phone call away in case mold makes an appearance again!

Is it true that homeowners' reactions to the mold remediation were the reason for the interview?

Their joy knew no bounds! It was like watching a feel-good movie as they saw their moldy kitchen transform into a fresh and inviting space. Their enthusiasm in spreading the news was the cherry on top for us.

The dedication of FDP Mold Remediation of Jersey City to ensuring a mold-free environment is genuinely praiseworthy. Preserving Jersey City houses free of mold is our utmost priority. When mold threatens, we are prepared to swoop in and save the day!
