Mould Inspection: First things first, we inspect the type and extent of mould formation; thereafter, we use our equipment to assess the moisture level. Even before actual removal takes place, we dry the wet areas using our industrial fans. Given the scale of the moisture, it might take a few days for the mould-infested area to completely dry.

Mould Removal: We then proceed towards wiping off the mould from the infested areas using our latest equipment. In the process, we come across sections where moulds are hard to remove, thus warranting more effort and resource utilisation. For example, if the carpets are heavily stained with mould beyond cleaning, they ought to be replaced.

Fumigation Treatment: After thorough cleaning, we fumigate indoors using a special agent to suppress the invisible mould spores in the air. Effective fumigation not only improves air quality but also prevents future mould outbreaks. This process is also known as decontamination fumigation. While undertaking fumigation, all doors, windows, and ventilation shafts are supposed to be closed. After three hours, you can use your property.
