The process
The hvac & air duct mold remediation process in Shelter Island, NY
Inspect
Ductwork, air handlers, and register boots are inspected for visible growth and the moisture source, such as condensation or a crawl space leak.
Contain
The HVAC system is shut down and the work area is sealed with containment to prevent spore spread during remediation.
Remove
Affected duct surfaces undergo HEPA vacuuming and cleaning. Porous linings that cannot be cleaned are removed and replaced.
Dry
The underlying moisture issue is addressed, whether from condensation, a faulty drain pan, or water intrusion near duct runs.
Verify
Post-cleaning verification ensures surfaces are clean. HEPA air scrubbers run before the system is returned to normal operation.
