Mold Remediation and Cleanup
Mold doesn't just decide to grow in your home or office.  It is always the result of some sort of moisture problem.  There are about just as many possible causes of moisture problems within the building envelope as there are species of mold.  Be that as it may, a professionally trained inspector should be able to identify a) whether or not you have a mold problem and b) what the source of that problem is.  We encourage you to research your inspector and make sure that he or she isn't just Joe down the street with a Petri dish and cue-tip calling him or herself a mold inspector.  Find out where he or she got certified, what equipment they use, who performs their sample analysis, and what type of knowledge they have about building science.
Mold remediation typically involves two areas of focus:
1.)  Isolating and treating the cause of the fungal contamination.
2.)  Removal and clean-up fungal contaminated materials.

Mold requires both a source of moisture and food to grow.  Food is readily available throughout our houses in the form of wood, carpet, paper, etc.  Conversely, moisture intrusion is usually easier to isolate and prevent in a building environment.  Flashing failures, plumbing leaks, flooding, high humidity and inadequate ventilation are common culprits of moisture intrusion. A variety of specialists such as plumbers, roofing contractors and drainage technicians can all be utilized to solve your problem.  Cleaning up the current fungal contamination without first addressing the moisture issue will only provide a temporary solution to a long term problem. 
After the cause of the moisture intrusion has been determined, the next step is the removal and clean-up of affected materials. First our team determines which items can be salvaged through dry-out and cleaning and which require removal.  This can be as simple as scrubbing and disinfecting a small area of sheetrock. Larger projects with extensive water damage and mold growth can require removal of sheathing, framing, carpeting and other contaminated materials. 
The very nature of mold remediation aerosolizes thousands of mold spores and if not performed correctly can lead to widespread distribution of contaminants.  On larger projects this is prevented through isolation and filtration techniques with air scrubbers and negative air machines.  MAXIM has both the equipment and technical expertise to handle the most complex mold remediation problems.
