1. Understand the moisture problem
A remediation project is incomplete if the underlying leak, condensation, water intrusion, or humidity problem continues.
2. Define the affected area
The extent of visible and suspected growth helps determine the scope, access needs, containment strategy, and materials involved.
3. Contain and remove affected material
Depending on the project, professionals may isolate the work area and remove materials that cannot be adequately cleaned.
4. Clean and dry
Remaining surfaces and work areas are cleaned using methods appropriate to the material and project scope, then dried.
5. Review the result
A finished project should not leave the original moisture source unresolved. Visible mold and moldy odors should not remain.
