Client Observation:

A homeowner in Queens, New York, contacted Zavza Seal LLC with concerns about potential mold growth in their basement. They reported a musty odor and noticed visible discoloration on the basement walls and ceiling. These signs suggested a potential mold problem that could pose health risks and affect the overall integrity of the basement.

Diagnosis:

The Zavza Seal LLC team conducted a thorough inspection of the basement. This included a visual assessment of the affected areas, along with moisture meter readings to identify any hidden moisture issues that might be contributing to mold growth. Air quality testing could also be employed to determine the presence and type of mold spores.

Solution:

Based on the inspection findings, Zavza Seal LLC proposed a comprehensive mold remediation plan to ensure the complete removal of mold and the prevention of future growth. The plan included the following steps:

• Containment: To prevent the spread of mold spores throughout the house, the Zavza Seal LLC team would create a containment zone around the affected area in the basement. This might involve sealing off doorways and ventilation systems.
• Safe Mold Removal: Trained and certified professionals would carefully remove all visible mold growth using specialized techniques. Wire brushing and sanitization would ensure the removal of surface mold and spores.
• Natural Disinfectant Application: Following mold removal, Zavza Seal LLC would apply an all-natural disinfectant to all exposed surfaces in the basement. This eco-friendly disinfectant effectively eliminates mold and mildew, repels rodents, and boasts low EPA toxicity ratings. It’s also non-flammable, non-irritating, and odorless, minimizing disruption for the homeowner.
• Encapsulation for Long-Term Protection: To prevent future mold growth, Zavza Seal LLC would encapsulate the treated surfaces with a water-based fungicidal protective coating. This coating contains EPA-registered antimicrobial properties to further prevent the growth of any micro-bacterial organisms.

Air Filtration and Dehumidification:

• Negative Air Scrubbers: To ensure the complete removal of airborne mold spores, Zavza Seal LLC would utilize two three-stage filtration negative air scrubber machines with 550 CFM and H13 HEPA filters. These powerful machines would run for five days, effectively capturing and filtering out any remaining mold spores while the homeowner is away on vacation.
• Dehumidification: Mold thrives in damp environments. Zavza Seal LLC would identify and address any sources of moisture contributing to the mold growth. This might involve repairing leaky pipes, improving ventilation, or utilizing dehumidifiers to control moisture levels in the basement.
