A serious problem confronting us these days is the ever-increasing exposure to molds and fungi inside our
living and working environments. Exposure to these contaminants has caused all types of effects and
illnesses in humans, up to and including death. There is a need to immediately address the presence of
these contaminants and remove them using approved methods.
A Nicer Reflection is trained and certified to mitigate (remove, eliminate) all forms of mold and fungal
contamination. For a listing of our Company Certifications, please Click HERE. An example of a recent
project is detailed below.
A Nicer Reflection was contacted to investigate a potential mold problem at a local business. A certified
testing service was contacted to complete an initial assessment of the customer site for suspected microbial
contamination. A certified industrial hygienist performed a limited walk-through inspection of the building,
collecting fungal air and surface samples and measuring the building "vital" signs. The results of the
assessment indicated extensive reservoirs of fungal contamination present in the building, namely
Ascopores and Stachybotrys.

Mold Remediation
Presence of mold and fungal
growth was visible to the naked
eye on various surfaces as seen
in this picture. Much of the
contamination was discovered
between the vinyl wall paper and
the drywall substrate. The
structure framing also exhibited
signs of contamination.

Indoor levels of molds and fungal
species should be less than one
third the level present in the
outdoor air around the structure.
As can be seen in the test results
report to the left, the levels far
exceeded this requirement.
These levels indicated the need
for remediation.

The first step in the process was
the construction of containment
barriers. A barrier was built to
isolate the effected areas from
the rest of the structure and an
attached room was built to serve
as a decontamination room for
the workers and the bags of
debris as they were removed
from the effected area. This step
is required to prevent any cross
contamination in other parts of
the building.

Filtered air scrubbers were
installed inside the chamber to
capture any contaminants
released during the tear out
phase. An air scrubber was also
placed in the un-effected area to
reduce the risk of any cross
contamination. Both units were
exhausted to the exterior of the
structure.

affected materials was started.

Following a thorough review with the customer of the test results, the approval was granted to address the
problem using recognized and approved methods.
