Zavza Seal LLC was contracted to address a severe mold infestation and insulation issue in a top-floor bedroom with a cove ceiling (approx. 600 sq. ft) in Bellmore, NY. The homeowner reported significant mildew and mold growth, which was due to moisture accumulation caused by poor insulation. Our team, led by a certified mold abatement supervisor, conducted a thorough assessment and implemented a comprehensive remediation and insulation plan.
Challenges Identified:
- Visible mildew and mold growth throughout the ceiling.
- High moisture levels due to temperature differences and inadequate insulation.
- Structural concerns requiring a full ceiling replacement.
- Need for long-term mold prevention and improved energy efficiency.
Scope of Work:
- Mold Remediation:
- Removed and disposed of the existing drywall ceiling to eliminate contaminated materials.
- Operated two high-efficiency dehumidifiers and two 3-stage filter negative air scrubbers (550 CFM, H13 HEPA) continuously throughout the process to improve air quality.
- Disinfected 100% of the roof substrate using an EPA-approved, non-toxic, odorless, and highly effective antifungal disinfectant.
- Applied a waterproofing liquid membrane to the roof substrate for additional protection.
- On areas with resistant mold, utilized wire brushing, sanitization, and encapsulation with a fungicidal treatment containing EPA-registered antimicrobials.
- Insulation & Ceiling Restoration:
- Installed R-19 faced insulation with a vapor barrier between ceiling joists to enhance temperature control and reduce future condensation risks.
- Installed new drywall, properly taped, compounded, and prepared for final finishing.
- Applied a liquid encapsulation fungicidal protective coating, a water-based paint designed to prevent future fungal and mold growth.
- Ensured all labor, materials, and equipment used met the highest industry standards.
