The Problem: Severe Basement Mold Infestation in Queens, NY
Zavza Seal LLC was contacted by a homeowner in Queens, NY, who had a major concern regarding mold growth throughout their basement. While the extension area had already been addressed previously, the rest of the basement showed signs of mold activity due to past moisture issues. The homeowner was preparing to leave town for a short vacation and wanted the problem addressed safely and effectively in their absence.
This was not just a cosmetic issue. Mold spores can pose serious health risks to occupants, especially in poorly ventilated, enclosed basement spaces. The homeowner needed fast, professional help from a licensed mold remediator in Queens who could completely eliminate the problem and provide lasting protection.
The Solution: Zavza Seal’s Professional Mold Remediation Process
As specialists in mold remediation in Queens, NY, the Zavza Seal team developed and executed a complete mold removal plan tailored to the homeowner’s basement. Our goal was to eliminate existing mold, disinfect thoroughly, and prevent future fungal growth.
Step 1: Wire Brushing and Sanitizing
Our team began by wire brushing all affected surfaces in the basement. This mechanical step helps to remove mold colonies at their roots, which is crucial before applying any chemical treatments. Once cleared, we thoroughly sanitized the area to prepare it for the next stages of remediation.
Step 2: All-Natural Disinfectant Spray
We sprayed all exposed basement surfaces with our all-natural disinfectant solution. This eco-friendly formula removes mold and mildew while also repelling rodents. It’s non-flammable, non-irritating, and odorless. With the lowest EPA toxicity rating, it’s safe for families, pets, and sensitive individuals. Our disinfectant is also highly effective against bacteria and viruses.
Step 3: Fungicidal Protective Encapsulation
After disinfecting, we applied a water-based fungicidal protective coating across all exposed surfaces. This encapsulation step seals the area and prevents any fungi or mold from returning. The product used also contains an EPA-registered antimicrobial, providing continued defense against bacteria and micro-organisms.
Step 4: Air Quality Control with Negative Air Machines
To ensure the air was fully cleansed of spores and contaminants, we ran two three-stage filtration negative air scrubbers for five days. Each machine operated at 550 CFM using H13 HEPA filters, capable of capturing particles down to 0.1 microns in size.
This was done while the customer was away, ensuring the remediation process had uninterrupted time to work thoroughly without disrupting the homeowner’s schedule.
Why Time Was Critical in This Project
Mold problems worsen over time. Delaying remediation could have resulted in:
- More extensive wall and material damage
- Increased health risks from spore inhalation
- Higher remediation costs if mold spread to adjoining areas
Because the homeowner acted quickly and chose Zavza Seal, they avoided these consequences and were able to return from vacation to a clean, healthy basement environment.
