Under the Flooring
We uncovered an excessive amount of mold growth underneath the flooring in the basement living area.
The Cause:
Apparently a pipe had burst and flooded the area. Since no one was around to report or fix the problem, mold growth had occurred.
Integrity Compromised
Since the structural integrity of both the sheetrock and the flooring had been compromised, we had no choice but to tear them both out.
Now for the Mold Remediation
After removal, we began our mold remediation treatment. First, we applied a product called Mold Abatement Polymer Solutions 1 (otherwise called MAPS 1).
What is MAPS 1
MAPS 1 is an EPA registered antimicrobial that attacks mold on a cellular level and kills it immediately.
Now for the Second Portion
We then scrubbed the mold away and applied a MAPS 2, which is a patented sealant that'll encapsulate the surface the mold is growing on and renders the mold inert, harmless, and non-allergenic.
Why MAPS 2 is Effective
MAPS 2 is moisture-sensitive, which means that'll it reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent any future mold growth.
