In the event that mold is present, we will respond appropriately, immediately reporting our observation to the property owner and insurance company. When the extent of mold contamination is isolated and/or less than 10 square feet, expensive testing and protocols are generally not required. We will isolate the contaminated area and remove the mold, while protecting the surrounding areas from the possible spread of mold spores. When we encounter an affected area of more than 10 square feet, we will contain the contaminated area, stop normal mitigation procedures and immediately notify the appropriate persons. In these caes, we strongly recommend the use of an environmental testing service to establish baseline levels of mold, identify the types of mold present, and develop a written remediation plan.
