Assess
Initial assessment notes visual characteristics and takes moisture readings to understand the scope before any claims are made.
Sample
If species identification is needed, a sample can be sent to an independent lab, separate from the on-site remediation decisions.
Contain
Plastic sheeting and negative air machines create a sealed work zone to prevent spore migration into other areas of the home.
Remove
Contaminated porous materials are removed, double-bagged, and handled under HEPA filtration by suited technicians.
Confirm
Final checks on moisture levels and surfaces are performed, with encapsulant applied to cleaned areas before containment is removed.

Good to know
Black Mold Removal in Portsmouth, RI: common questions
Is all dark-colored mold dangerous?
No. Many common molds are dark in color. The necessary response is removal of the growth and correction of the moisture problem, regardless of species.
Can mold affect my family's health?
Reactions vary. Some individuals may experience allergy-like symptoms or respiratory irritation. Those with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems may be more susceptible.
Will the inspection find every mold problem?
The inspection focuses on reported areas and common problem spots like basements and bathrooms. If hidden moisture is suspected, options for further investigation are discussed.

The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Portsmouth home.
