Abatement Testing
In construction, abatement testing is a set of procedures designed to control the release of asbestos fibers from asbestos-containing materials.[1] Asbestos abatement is utilized during general construction in areas containing asbestos materials, particularly when those materials are being removed, encapsulated, or repaired. Abatement is needed in order to protect construction workers and members of the general public from the many negative health impacts of asbestos.
Mould Abatement
Mould is a natural part of the world’s ecosystem. Its main purpose is to decompose organic material – but that doesn’t mean it’s welcome in the home.
Throughout the world, there are hundreds of different species of mould that grow in just about every type of environment imaginable. It can be found both indoors and outdoors, especially in areas where there is excess moisture, humidity or poor ventilation. Not only does mould look unappealing, but it can wreak havoc on your walls, ceiling, soft furnishings and floors.
Mould Removal
The process of mould removal typically starts with identifying the source of mould growth. It involves more than just looking at where mould is visibly growing, but also, looking behind or around areas where visible mould is present.
The technicians use equipment such as moisture/humidity meters and infrared cameras to trace the source of mould. Once the main source of growth is identified, recommendations are made to remove or reduce the moisture.
The mould removal process ends with drying out and treating the affected area to prevent the problem from returning again.
Location of the Mould Problem
The area where the source of mould growth is detected also influences pricing. Certain mould growth may be found in places that are not easily accessible, like subflors and roof cavities. In such cases, the job may cost even more due to the need for specialist equipment specifically for these situations.
A FEW COMMON QUESTIONS.....
How Much Does It Cost to Remove the Mould Abatement?
Many factors may influence the cost of mould remediation projects. In a perfect world, there would be one price for one solution. However, the actual price of mould treatment and removal will depend on a variety of factors.
Is Mould Remediation Permanent?
The main goal of any mould remediation project is to permanently remove mould from the affected area. In the world of mould, its removal from an area for more than 12 months is classed as permanent. However, to keep it away, you’ll need to be proactive.
Once the mould remediation project is completed in your property, your contractor will recommend ways to prevent mould from recurring. Some of these include:
-
Controlling moisture in your space;
-
Installing ventilation systems;
-
Repairing affected areas.
Mould will continue to exist in our surroundings. Hence, the answer as to whether mould remediation is permanent depends on your commitment to put into practice the recommendations of your contractor.
Is Black Mould toxic?
When you hear someone saying black mould is toxic, it’s also important to remember that there is no single type of mould that is called ‘black mould’.
In fact, there are many types of mould that are black. Stachybotrys Chartarum is the species most people are referring to, which is also one of the most common strains found in the home.
Is it deadly? No. There is no scientific evidence that proves exposure to this strain is more dangerous than exposure to any other type.
