Mold clearance testing for Saluda is handled the right way. The technicians find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then the area is contained and the mold is removed safely.
Saluda is about 6 miles from Flat Rock, so a crew can usually be there the same day you call. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Is clearance testing required after every remediation project?

What happens if the area doesn't pass clearance?
It indicates a specific location requires additional cleaning or drying. The report identifies the area for targeted follow-up.
