Zavza Seal LLC was contracted to address a severe mold and mildew issue in a top-floor bedroom cove ceiling (approx. 600 sq. ft.) in a residential property in Bellmore, NY. The issue stemmed from excess moisture and temperature differences due to a lack of insulation, making the space unhealthy and energy-inefficient.

Challenges

• Extensive mold growth across the ceiling, compromising air quality and structural integrity.
• High moisture levels due to poor insulation, creating ideal conditions for mold.
• The need for a comprehensive mold remediation process before installing insulation.

Our Solution

To effectively remediate mold and prevent future growth, Zavza Seal LLC implemented a multi-step restoration plan:

✅ Mold Removal & Remediation

• Complete drywall ceiling removal to eliminate mold-contaminated materials.
• Operation of two industrial dehumidifiers and two 3-stage filter negative air-scrubber machines (550 CFM, H13 HEPA filters) to maintain clean air throughout the process.
• 100% disinfection of the roof substrate with an EPA-certified disinfectant that is non-flammable, odorless, and non-irritant, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

✅ Waterproofing & Encapsulation

• Application of a waterproofing liquid membrane to the roof substrate, preventing future moisture intrusion.
• Wire brushing, sanitizing, and encapsulating resistant mold areas with a fungicidal solution containing EPA-registered antimicrobials to prevent regrowth.

✅ Insulation & Ceiling Restoration

• Installation of R-19 faced insulation with a vapor barrier between ceiling joists to enhance thermal efficiency and prevent future condensation issues.
• New drywall installation, followed by taping and compounding for a seamless finish.
• Application of a water-based fungicidal protective coating (encapsulation paint) to prevent any future mold and mildew growth.

Results & Benefits

✔️ Mold-Free & Healthy Environment: The thorough remediation process restored clean indoor air quality, making the space safe and livable. 

✔️ Moisture & Mold Prevention: The combination of waterproofing, fungicidal treatment, and high-quality insulation ensures long-term protection. 

✔️ Enhanced Energy Efficiency: The R-19 insulation significantly improves temperature regulation, reducing energy bills.
