Mold Removal for House for Sale in Marlboro, NJ
Challenge
This homeowner in Marlboro, NJ was in the process of preparing her home for sale, however, as often happens, mold was discovered in a “hidden” rarely visited area of the home. Here, they found mold growth in their sump pump closet. The mold growth was caused by a groundwater seepage issue that she had already been fixed. However, the water intrusion had already triggered mold growth.
The homeowners were concerned that this discovery of mold would delay putting their house on the market, and they contacted Mold Solutions By Cowleys. We informed them that since there were no water-damaged building materials, there was no need for any tear-out. Instead, we could efficiently and effectively chemically treat and kill the mold in less than a day, and there would be no delay in putting the home on the market for sale.
Solution
We treated the affected areas with our EPA-registered antimicrobial solution called Mold Abatement Polymer Solution 1, or MAPS 1. This product attacks mold on a cellular level and kills it instantly. We then used our mold stain remover, scrubbed away all the excess mold staining, and then applied our patented sealant MAPS 2. This application encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders it harmless and non-allergenic. MAPS 2 is also moisture-sensitive and will reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent future mold growth.
These Marlboro homeowners were “as pleased as punch” that we were able to successfully treated the mold so quickly. Whenever a homeowner is in the process of selling a home encounters mold, he or she assumes that it will be a major obstacle that could delay listing and selling the home. However, as these homeowners found out, with the help of Mold Solutions by Cowleys, mold is a problem that can be easily resolved with the right treatment applied by the right company.
