From species confirmation to IH-supervised clearance — the complete protocol for black mold in Riverdale properties.
Identification
🔍Species Confirmation via Lab Analysis
We confirm species via accredited lab analysis before applying the Type III protocol. Dark mold in your Riverdale, GA property isn't automatically Stachybotrys — but we find out before we scope and price the job.
Containment
🔥Type III Containment Establishment
Type III containment means double-layer 6-mil poly barriers floor-to-ceiling, HEPA negative air machines creating inward airflow verified by smoke pencil, sealed HVAC registers, and sticky mat decontamination stations at every containment entry. Established in full before any Stachybotrys-contaminated material is disturbed in your Riverdale property — no exceptions.
Removal
🔨Complete Contaminated Material Removal
Contaminated porous material comes out completely. Double-bagged, documented disposal. No in-place treatment as a substitute for removal in confirmed Stachybotrys scenarios.
Treatment
💧Structural Surface Treatment & Encapsulation
HEPA vacuum, EPA fungicide, encapsulant — all remaining structural surfaces after material removal. Chemical treatment plus physical barrier as the standard, not the upgrade.
Drying
💨Moisture Source Identification & Correction
Stachybotrys only establishes on material that has been consistently wet for an extended period. Its presence confirms a sustained moisture source — plumbing leak, roof infiltration, chronic condensation, or ground moisture intrusion. We identify and document the source and provide specific corrective recommendations, because removal without source correction produces recurrence within months.
Clearance
✅IH-Supervised Post-Removal Clearance
Independent IH, not the remediation contractor, collects and interprets post-clearance samples. Written IH clearance report confirms the Stachybotrys removal achieved its objective.
