Moisture and mold growth are cause-and-effect components linked to one another. Potential mold growth is likely when excessive moisture exceeds a humidity threshold, or materials suffer water damage. Controlling the relative humidity is a step toward avoiding growth altogether, and it is essential to note the role moisture control plays in professional mold remediation by our AdvantaClean of the Eastside team. 

Managing Moisture with Effective Drying 

Mercer Island mold remediation is a complex and complicated process involving our experienced recovery team and advanced tools from our inventory. During the earliest cleanup and recovery solutions through prevention and reconstruction, moisture control plays a vital role in the efficiency and lastingness of the remediation process for a residence. Effective drying is a manner of three phases during cleanup:

  • Moisture Tracking 

It is crucial to track and record all moisture sources and hidden caches of dampness before the drying process begins. Missing points of origin for mold damage can lead to continued deterioration of building materials, and the job may need more significant costs. Thermography tools like thermal imagery, probing moisture meters, and hygrometers are needed in this phase.

  • Structural Drying Tools 

Reaching ambient humidity levels is often primarily the job of dehumidifiers. In the Pacific Northwest, we usually must use two different industrial-grade management tools, like low-grain refrigerant or desiccant units, both ideal in varying temperature or size conditions. High-velocity air movers are also essential to the overall structural drying process, evaporating trapped moisture for the dehumidifiers to manage in the environment. 

  • Monitoring 

Having air movers and dehumidifiers throughout the affected areas is an excellent start to the moisture control solution, but monitoring helps our professionals track the progress of these efforts. Through thermal imagery and hygrometers, we can quickly determine the concentration of relative humidity, when equipment needs to be moved to continue drying effectively, or when optimal humidity levels have been reached.

Professional Moisture Control by AdvantaClean of the Eastside 

While you might be able to inspect areas of your home for leaks and water damage, controlling the moisture is often a more significant undertaking than many families realize. When mold damage already exists, it is critical to manage moisture immediately to prevent the situation from worsening and slow the spread of the harmful and potentially threatening organism. Our professionals arrive with the necessary materials for effective containment, structural drying, and surface cleaning to manage pressing remediation concerns immediately.

Where there’s moisture, there could also be mold. When you want to be sure, contact our AdvantaClean of the Eastside remediators for professional inspection, moisture control, and mold removal. We are here 24/7 to help at (425) 649-0600.
