Charter Oak Environmental has adopted current acceptable industry standards in under taking our mold remediation projects and preparing remediation estimates and protocols.

Professional mold remediation requires more than just eliminating existing mold. Mold remediation includes preventing the spread of mold and eliminating potential mold problems in the future. Mold remediation also involves containment of existing mold (so that it does not spread), controlling the air movement, protecting the occupants from mold, protecting the technicians from the mold, proper disposal of waste materials and in-depth cleaning of the affected areas.

The levels of Mold contamination are based on three levels as follows:

Condition 1
Normal fungal ecology. May have presence of settled spores, fungal fragments,  or traces of actual growth whose identity, location and quantity are reflective of a normal fungal ecology for a similar indoor environment.
Condition 2
Settled spores that were directly or indirectly contaminated from a Condition 3 area, and which may have traces of actual growth.
Condition 3
Actual growth and associated spores. Actual growth includes growth that is active or dormant, visible or hidden.
