Mold Damage caused by Fridge
Challenge
These homeowners bought a replacement for their leaky fridge. When they removed the old one, they discovered mold growth on the wall behind it. We discovered the mold extended beyond the fridge, behind all the cabinets and on the adjoining wall.
Solution
Our team arrived and began to work quickly. Setting up a decontainment chamber, we used a negative air scrubber both in the containment area and outside the containment area upstairs. After cleaning the salvageable cabinets, we removed all impacted organic materials, such as sheetrock. They HEPA vacuumed the exposed wall and cavities before HEPA vacuuming the entire contained area. Using an EPA registered antimicrobial solution, they cleaned the exposed cavities. The surface was then sealed with an antimicrobial paint.
