First Onsite Mold & Environmental Remediation Services
Any damage related to mold or water has the potential to become a problem if not addressed properly. Whether minor or catastrophic, it’s essential to identify the issue, address the root cause, and prevent further damage. First Onsite teams are available 24/7 to help if you suspect or experience any signs of mold or water damage.
Mold and other environmental damage pose many risks to your property and health; it is crucial to act quickly. Any area exposed to water or humidity presents the conditions mold needs for growth, and it can spread rapidly to other areas of the building. It’s important to note not all mold is visible, and it can grow in hidden areas such as behind wallpaper, inside walls, and HVAC systems.
Here are some warning signs that you may need mold remediation:
| [ICON] Visible mold growth | [ICON] Musty odors | [ICON] Water damage or leaks | [ICON] Health issues |
| Discolored spots or streaks with fuzzy, velvety, or slimy texture can be common signs of mold. | A musty or damp smell is a sign that mold is present but may not be visible. | Water damage or leaks provide the necessary moisture, warmth, and organic matter for mold spores to thrive. | You or someone in your home or business is experiencing unexplained health issues, such as allergies, asthma, respiratory problems, or headaches. |
If you suspect that there is mold, it’s crucial to have a professional assess the situation and determine the best course of action.
- Stop the source of the moisture: If you can identify the source of the moisture creating the conditions to support mold growth, take steps to stop it. Stopping the source may involve fixing a leak, addressing a plumbing issue, or correcting a ventilation problem.
- Isolate the affected area: Limiting airflow from the area is vital to avoid cross-contamination to unaffected spaces.
- Get a report: To begin the mold remediation process, you may need a report from an Industrial Hygienist, Mold Assessor, or Environmental Consultant. They will be able to verify the type of mold and the extent of the growth so the proper process can begin.
- Contact First Onsite: Hiring a professional mold remediation company to handle mold removal is recommended.

First Onsite Mold Remediation Process
Mold remediation is identifying and removing mold from an indoor environment. Our teams bring proven experience and adhere to strict industry practices to every mold remediation job.
The steps involved in mold remediation include:
- Identify the source of the mold: To remove the mold effectively, it is important to determine the cause. Flooding, poor ventilation, leaks, or plumbing issues could all be contributing to the environment mold needs to grow.
- Contain the mold: It is vital to contain the affected area to prevent the spread of mold spores. This step may involve sealing off the area with plastic sheeting or setting up negative air pressure to prevent the spread of spores.
- Remove the mold: Once it is contained, it can be removed using specialized cleaning products and techniques. This may involve scraping or sanding the moldy surfaces or using a chemical agent to kill the mold.
- Clean and apply disinfectant to the affected area: After removing the mold, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the area to eliminate any remaining mold spores.
- Repair any damage: The final step in the process is to repair all existing damage from the source or damage caused by mold growth. The repair process may involve replacing drywall, repainting surfaces, or replacing damaged materials.
Our mold remediation services will help you recover as quickly as possible from any damage the mold may have caused.
