We use special tools and gear to remove mold safely in Tallahassee. These help clean mold without spreading it or making people sick. The right equipment makes the job fast and good.
Mold grows in wet places. Tiny bits called spores can fly in the air. Good tools catch them and keep the home clean.
We have seen many mold jobs over the years. We always use the best equipment to protect health and stop mold from coming back.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
HEPA Vacuums
HEPA vacuums are special cleaners. HEPA means High Efficiency Particulate Air. They catch very tiny bits, even mold spores.
Normal vacuums can blow spores back out. HEPA ones trap 99.97% of small bits.
Pros use them to suck up loose mold from floors, walls, and furniture.
They come in big shop sizes for us. Some have long hoses for hard spots.
After vacuuming, they bag the dirt safe and throw it away.
Air Scrubbers
Air scrubbers are big machines that clean the air. They pull in dirty air and push out clean air.
They have HEPA filters and sometimes carbon filters for smells.
We run them all day during the job. This catches flying spores.
Big ones clean hundreds of cubic feet per minute. This makes the air safe fast.
They help in closed off areas too.
Dehumidifiers and Fans
After cleaning mold, everything must dry well. Wet spots let mold grow back.
Industrial dehumidifiers pull water from the air. They are much stronger than home ones.
They can take out many pints of water a day.
Big air movers or fans blow air around. This helps dry walls, floors, and hidden spots fast.
We place many fans to move air good.
They run for days until dry.
Negative Air Machines
These are like strong fans with filters. They make the mold area have less air pressure.
Air flows in but not out. This stops spores from going to other rooms.
They blow dirty air outside through a hose.
We use them with plastic walls for containment.
This keeps the rest of the home clean.
Containment Barriers
Plastic sheets make walls around the mold area.
We tape them tight to floors, ceilings, and doors.
Sometimes zippers for easy in and out.
This stops dust and spores from spreading.
With negative air, it works even better.
Moisture Meters and Detection Tools
Before and after, pros check for wet.
Moisture meters poke or touch walls to read water inside.
Some are pin type, some no pins.
Thermal cameras see cold wet spots.
Borescopes look inside walls with a tiny camera.
These find hidden water so mold does not come back.
Cleaning Tools and Solutions
Soft brushes and scrubbers remove mold from hard surfaces.
Safe cleaners kill mold without bad chemicals.
Some use dry ice blasting for gentle clean.
Foggers spray killer in air or hard spots.
We choose based on the job.
Disposal Bags and Tools
Strong bags hold mold waste. They seal tight.
We double bag and label them.
This keeps spores in when throwing away.
