Mold Remediation
mold spores include allergic reactions. asthma episodes, irritations of the eye, nose and throat, sinus congestion, and other respiratory problems, although it should be noted that mold spores won't actually cause asthma, but can irritate existing conditions. For example, residents of homes with mold are at an elevated risk for both respiratory infections and bronchitis.

Cascade Services Company services provides complete inspection, cleanup, remediation and clearance sampling for water and microbial damage.
Pre-Remediation
Depending on the size of the contamination area, CSC will implement protection and containment measures to prevent mold/spore release and spread of contamination to other areas. CSC will open and inspect representative structural components to estimate the extent of mold growth and determine the best remediation approach.
Mold Remediation Process
After water intrusion sources have been repaired, water will be removed from hard surfaces by soaking or mopping. In cases of large volumes of water, it may be necessary to actively pump out standing water or use wet vacuums.
Once excess water is removed, CSC will utilize the appropriate compliment of fans, air moving devices, or dehumidifiers to promote evaporation and help drive off moisture.
Mold cleanup and remediation strategies will depend on the type of contamination. For instance, "Black Water Contamination" ( unsanitary, pathogenic water, sewer, storm flooding) will require a more rigorous cleaning and decontamination routine than "Clean Water Contamination" (broken water supply lines, roof leak, condensate from high humidity).
Mold cleanup methods could include wet or extraction vacuuming, damp wiping, HEPA vacuuming, and use of antimicrobial pesticides where appropriate and necessary.

Post Remediation
A certified third party Inspector will perform post-remediation clearance activities to include: visual assessment to ensure site is free of visible mold growth, moldy odors, and free from visible dust and debris.
If clearance sampling is performed, only background types and concentrations of mold, similar to those found outside, should remain.

Project Supervision
CSC provides a certified Project Supervisor for every project. Our qualified project supervisors have practical experience in all facets of mold remediation to include project planning, work practices, protection of workers, and project close-out procedures. Project supervisors are also trained in the areas of protective clothing, respirator inspection and fit testing, containment practices, construction of decontamination facilities, and glove-bag procedures.
Our Project Supervisors have been trained and certified in mold contamination cleanup and disposal procedures per Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Competent Person requirements and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
