Our Mold Removal Process in Winter Park
People First Restoration follows IICRC S520 standards for mold remediation, the industry benchmark for safe, effective mold removal. The IICRC S520 Standard requires that all mold remediation projects include identification and elimination of the source moisture, not just removal of visible mold. Our process is designed to protect your family, our workers, and your property at every stage.
Professional Mold Inspection and Testing
Our certified inspectors perform a thorough visual assessment and use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and when appropriate, air quality sampling to identify mold species, concentrations, and the full extent of contamination. This diagnostic phase determines the remediation protocol and provides a baseline for post-remediation verification.
Containment and Air Filtration
Before any mold is disturbed, we establish physical containment barriers using polyethylene sheeting and create negative air pressure within the work area. HEPA-filtered air scrubbers run continuously to capture airborne spores and prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas of your home. This is critical in Florida homes where open floor plans can allow spores to travel quickly.
Mold Removal and Material Disposal
Depending on the materials affected and the extent of colonization, our technicians either clean and treat surfaces or remove contaminated materials entirely. Porous materials like drywall, insulation, and carpet padding that are heavily colonized are carefully removed and disposed of in sealed bags. Semi-porous and non-porous materials are cleaned using HEPA vacuuming and appropriate antimicrobial solutions.
Moisture Source Correction
Mold will return if the underlying moisture problem is not resolved. Our team identifies and helps correct the moisture source, whether it is a plumbing leak, inadequate ventilation, improper grading, or an HVAC issue. In Central Florida, we also assess whether indoor humidity control is adequate given our climate conditions.
Post-Remediation Verification
After remediation is complete, we perform clearance testing to verify that mold levels have returned to acceptable concentrations. An independent third-party assessment can also be arranged for additional peace of mind. Only after passing verification do we remove containment barriers and clear the area for reconstruction and re-occupancy.
