Antimicrobial disinfection treatment applies EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions to surfaces after contaminated materials have been removed, addressing any remaining mold spores that physical removal alone doesn't fully eliminate. This is the step that actually kills what's left behind rather than just removing the visibly affected materials and hoping the area is clean.
This is a necessary part of any mold remediation project, applied after contaminated materials have been physically removed and before new materials go back in, on non-porous surfaces that were cleaned rather than removed during the remediation process, or as a standalone treatment in situations with minor surface mold growth on non-porous materials that doesn't require material removal. Skipping this step and simply removing visible contamination without disinfecting remaining surfaces leaves spores behind that can restart growth.
We apply antimicrobial treatment to all surfaces within the remediation area after material removal is complete, using EPA-registered products specifically formulated to address mold and its spores rather than general-purpose cleaners. We treat framing, subfloor, and any remaining structural elements that were exposed during removal, since these surfaces need treatment even though they weren't contaminated enough to require removal themselves. We allow proper dwell time for the antimicrobial treatment to actually work rather than wiping it on and off immediately, and we sometimes apply a second treatment pass in areas with more significant prior contamination to ensure thorough coverage.
Cost is typically bundled into the overall remediation project cost, scaling with the square footage requiring treatment. Properties in Cleveland, OH with more extensive prior contamination sometimes benefit from a more thorough treatment protocol than a standard single-pass application.
