Remediation

The goal of remediation is to remove or clean contaminated materials in a way that prevents the emission of fungi and dust contaminated with fungi from leaving a work area and entering an occupied or nonabatement area while protecting the health of workers performing the abatement.

Alpure utilizes dust suppression methods such as misting (not soaking) surfaces prior to remediation.

Contaminated materials that cannot be cleaned are removed from the structure in a sealed plastic bag for disposal. The work area and areas used by remedial technicians for egress are cleaned with a damp cloth and/or detergent solution.

Alpure uses HEPA air filtration machines and remediation is conducted under a negative pressure containment by using polyethylene walls and floors.

In all situations, the underlying cause of water accumulation is rectified so that fungal growth will not recur.

All areas are left dry and visibly free from contamination and debris.

Industrial hygienists conduct samplings for final testing when remediation is complete to ensure that the structure is safe for occupants.
