At We Know Mold, we follow a comprehensive and industry-standard mold remediation process designed to restore healthy indoor environments and protect both property and health. Our procedures are based on the latest guidance from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and applicable local and state regulations.
1. Initial Inspection and Assessment
- Our certified mold specialists begin with a thorough visual inspection and moisture mapping to locate areas affected by mold growth.
- We may use tools such as thermal imaging cameras, hygrometers, and moisture meters.
- If necessary, we can coordinate independent air or surface sampling for lab analysis.
Standards Referenced: IICRC S520, EPA Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings
2. Containment and Safety Measures
- We establish containment zones using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination.
- All team members wear full personal protective equipment (PPE) including respirators, gloves, and suits.
- Local laws often require licensed mold remediation contractors—our team is fully licensed and insured.
Compliance: OSHA safety guidelines, local licensing requirements
3. Mold Removal and Disposal
- We remove contaminated materials such as drywall, insulation, and carpet that cannot be salvaged.
- Salvageable materials are cleaned using methods such as HEPA vacuuming, damp wiping, and media blasting, depending on the surface.
- All mold-contaminated debris is sealed and properly disposed of per EPA and local waste management regulations.

4. Cleaning and Air Filtration
- We deploy HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to capture airborne spores and improve indoor air quality during and after remediation.
- Antimicrobial agents are applied to affected areas to prevent future growth.
Note: We use EPA-registered fungicides and disinfectants only.
5. Post-Remediation Verification (Clearance Testing)
- Once remediation is complete, we perform a final inspection and, if requested, can coordinate third-party clearance testing to ensure the space is safe for occupancy.
- Documentation is provided for insurance or compliance purposes.
