Project Overview

A homeowner in Smithtown, NY contacted Zavza Seal LLC with concerns about visible mold growth throughout their basement. As a licensed mold remediation company, our objective was to eliminate all traces of mold, address the moisture issue, and prevent future growth, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for the homeowner and their family.

Initial Inspection and Findings

During our inspection, we observed:

• Mold present on basement walls, wood framing, and in storage areas

• Musty odors and visible water stains

• Mold growing behind insulation in certain sections

• Poor ventilation and elevated humidity levels contributing to mold development

The homeowner had not previously addressed a minor water seepage issue, which had escalated due to lack of airflow and basement use.

Scope of Work

As part of our comprehensive basement mold remediation plan, the following actions were taken:

1. All-Natural Disinfection
   All exposed surfaces in the basement were treated with an all-natural disinfectant specifically designed to eliminate mold and mildew. This product also repels rodents, offering an added layer of protection.
2. Wire Brushing and Sanitization
   Heavily affected areas were wire brushed to remove stubborn mold buildup, followed by targeted sanitization to neutralize spores at the source.
3. Wood Treatment
   Where mold was found on wooden structures:

• The surface of the wood was shaved down to remove mold penetration.

• Treated wood was encapsulated with a water-based fungicidal coating containing EPA-registered antimicrobials, which inhibit future microbial activity.

4. Fungicidal Encapsulation
   Exposed surfaces vulnerable to mold regrowth were encapsulated with a protective fungicidal coating, ensuring long-term resistance against mold and fungi.
5. Storage Item Disinfection
   Plastic storage bins and containers in the affected area were carefully wiped down with our all-natural disinfectant to prevent reintroduction of mold spores.

Air Quality Control and Final Measures

To restore air quality and remove airborne contaminants, we deployed:

• Two commercial-grade dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from the air

• Two 3-stage negative air scrubber machines (550 CFM with H13 HEPA filters) to capture mold spores and other allergens

These systems ran continuously for three days post-remediation to ensure complete decontamination and safe re-entry for the client.

Outcome

• Full removal of visible and hidden mold

• Preventative measures in place for long-term mold control

• Improved air quality and moisture balance in the basement

• A satisfied client with peace of mind
