CONTENTS AFFECTED BY A MOLD DAMAGE

Handling contents restoration after mold damage in a home requires a systematic approach to ensure proper cleaning and restoration. Here is a step-by-step process that includes the involvement of a mold certified technician and follows the protocol set by an indoor hygienist:

Initial Assessment:

   - Contact a mold certified technician from My Contents, an IICRC Certified Full Service Contents Restoration Firm, to evaluate the extent of mold damage and assess the affected contents.

   - The technician will inspect the affected areas, identify the type and severity of mold growth, and determine the best course of action.

Develop a Restoration Plan:

   - Based on the assessment, the technician will create a detailed restoration plan for the affected contents.

   - The plan will consider the type of materials involved, the extent of contamination, and the necessary cleaning and restoration techniques.

Isolate the Affected Area:

   - To prevent the spread of mold spores, the technician will establish containment measures around the affected area using plastic sheets or barriers.

   - Negative air pressure machines may be used to ensure that mold spores are not released into unaffected areas during the restoration process.

Contents Removal and Inventory:

   - The technician, along with a team from My Contents, will carefully remove and relocate all affected contents to a controlled and secure environment for restoration.

   - A detailed inventory will be created, documenting each item's condition, location, and any necessary repairs or replacements.

Contents Cleaning and Decontamination:

   - Using industry-standard cleaning techniques, My Contents' certified professionals will thoroughly clean and decontaminate the affected contents.

   - Specialized equipment and products will be used to remove mold spores, stains, and odors from various materials, such as furniture, clothing, electronics, and personal items.

Drying and Moisture Control:

   - The technician will ensure that all contents are properly dried to prevent further mold growth.

   - Dehumidifiers and air movers may be employed to reduce humidity levels and promote efficient drying.

Restoration and Repairs:

   - If any of the contents require repairs or restoration, My Contents will coordinate the necessary services with trusted professionals.

   - This may involve furniture repairs, electronics restoration, fabric cleaning, or other specialized treatments to restore the affected items to their pre-damage condition.

Final Inspection and Clearance Testing:

   - After completing the restoration process, the mold certified technician will conduct a final inspection to ensure that all contents are clean and mold-free.

   - If required, the indoor hygienist will perform clearance testing to verify that the remediated area meets established standards for mold contamination.

Return and Reinstallation:

   - Once the contents are deemed safe and mold-free, My Contents will coordinate the return and reinstallation of the restored items back to the home.

   - The technician will carefully place the contents in their original locations or as specified by the homeowner.

By following this step-by-step process and engaging the services of a reputable and certified contents restoration firm like My Contents, you can effectively handle mold affected contents in your home while adhering to the protocol set by an indoor hygienist.
