How Point Of Rocks crews handle it.
Inspection & moisture mapping
A crew locates visible and hidden growth and, critically, the water source feeding it — because mold always returns if the moisture is not fixed. Moisture meters and targeted access points reveal the true extent behind walls and under floors.
Containment
The work area is sealed with plastic sheeting and put under negative air pressure so spores cannot spread to clean parts of the home during removal. This containment is what separates professional remediation from a cleanup that spreads the problem.
Air filtration
HEPA air scrubbers and negative-air machines run throughout the work to capture airborne spores. The air itself is filtered, not just the surfaces.
Removal & cleaning
Contaminated porous materials are removed, and salvageable non-porous surfaces are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial to IICRC S520 practice. The goal is to remove the mold without spreading it.
Verification & source repair
The area is dried, the result is verified, and the underlying moisture source is corrected so the mold does not come back. Fixing the water problem is as important as removing the growth.
