COMMERCIAL MOLD INSPECTION IN BOSTON

PowerBees was called to a commercial property to perform a mold inspection. The company reported water damage from an overflowing toilet that had caused mold in the basement. They wanted PowerBees to provide a proposal for mold removal.

A certified mold inspector visited the property. He found visible Black Mold and Grey Mold on sheetrock and carpeting in multiple rooms, as well as White Mold on the floorboards of one room. Fruiting bodies (mushrooms) were found growing on the carpet. The mold was caused by separate instances of toilets overflowing and sustained water damage. Moisture detection readings in the sheetrock and the hardwood flooring registered high when read with a Delmhorst Moisture Meter. Humidity was measured at between 66% and 67%.

For mold remediation, PowerBees proposed to create a Managed Air Flow Environment, a containment barrier, and a secondary decontamination chamber. PowerBees also suggested the use of HEPA Air Scrubbers and HEPA vacuums, as well as multiple antimicrobial treatments.
