From Category 1 clean-water events to Category 3 sewage-adjacent mold, each job gets the right protocol.
Category Assessment
📋Water Category Classification & Protocol Selection
Water source classification determines PPE requirements, containment tier, and disposal protocol on every Cold Spring Harbor mold job. We assess and document the water category before work begins.
Containment
🔥Negative Air Containment Setup
Containment before removal, always. Poly barriers, HEPA negative air, sealed registers — established before any contaminated material is disturbed in your Cold Spring Harbor property.
Extraction
🔨Contaminated Material Removal
Mold-contaminated drywall, insulation, subfloor sections, and framing members are physically removed, double-bagged in heavy-duty poly, and disposed of per Cold Spring Harbor, NY regulations. HEPA vacuuming of remaining structural surfaces removes loose spore material before treatment.
Treatment
💧EPA Biocide Application
EPA-registered biocide application on all remaining structural surfaces after extraction — category-appropriate product selection, documented application, and optional encapsulant for salvageable framing.
Drying
💨Structural Drying Where Needed
When residual moisture remains in structural materials after removal, we deploy desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers and air movers — logging daily psychrometric readings against IICRC drying targets until materials reach equilibrium moisture content.
Clearance
📄Independent Post-Removal Air Sampling
Third-party IH clearance sampling after every Cold Spring Harbor, NY removal job. Accredited lab results, written clearance report — objective confirmation the removal achieved its goal.
