Remove the Mold Affected Materials
Often, with our treatment process, we can treat the mold directly without removing the building materials on which the mold is growing. However, once there is significant water damage, as was the case here, the materials cannot be salvaged and the materials must be demolished and removed.
Put in New Beams and Apply MAPS 1 & 2
We removed all of the water-damaged materials, replaced the sill plates and treated all of the mold-affected surfaces with two different applications. First, we will apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial called MAPS 1 that kills mold on a cellular level. Once that application dries, we then apply a patented sealant called MAPS 2 that encapsulates the mold, rendering it inert, harmless, and nonallergenic.
Spray in Some Insulation
Once MAPS 2 is fully dried, we added spray foam insulation.
Add the Drywall
Next, we added the drywall.
Sealed and Safe
Once MAPS 1 & 2 have been applied, the mold is no longer a threat. The homeowner informed us that he will hire a contractor to paint his living room.
