From species confirmation to IH-supervised clearance — the complete protocol for black mold in Louisville properties.
Identification
🔍Species Confirmation via Lab Analysis
We confirm species via accredited lab analysis before applying the Type III protocol. Dark mold in your Louisville, TN property isn't automatically Stachybotrys — but we find out before we scope and price the job.
Containment
🔥Type III Containment Establishment
Double poly, HEPA negative air, smoke-pencil verified, decon mat at entry. Established and verified before the first cut into contaminated material.
Removal
🔨Complete Contaminated Material Removal
All Stachybotrys-contaminated porous materials — drywall, insulation, carpet, ceiling tile, wood materials with surface penetration — are removed completely, double-bagged in heavy-duty poly, and disposed of through documented waste channels. No partial removal, no material left in place and treated in situ.
Treatment
💧Structural Surface Treatment & Encapsulation
HEPA vacuum, EPA fungicide, encapsulant — all remaining structural surfaces after material removal. Chemical treatment plus physical barrier as the standard, not the upgrade.
Drying
💨Moisture Source Identification & Correction
Stachybotrys only establishes on material that has been consistently wet for an extended period. Its presence confirms a sustained moisture source — plumbing leak, roof infiltration, chronic condensation, or ground moisture intrusion. We identify and document the source and provide specific corrective recommendations, because removal without source correction produces recurrence within months.
Clearance
✅IH-Supervised Post-Removal Clearance
Independent IH, not the remediation contractor, collects and interprets post-clearance samples. Written IH clearance report confirms the Stachybotrys removal achieved its objective.
