Introduction: Mold Remediation and Encapsulation T.A.C.T. of Middle Tennessee offers mold remediation and encapsulation services for residential and commercial properties in Nashville and throughout Middle Tennessee.  Mold remediation and encapsulation are processes used to address mold issues in your home, buildings and other structures. These processes are essential for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and preventing further mold growth in areas where mold is present. Mold Remediation T.A.C.T.’s mold remediation service consists of removing and cleaning up mold contamination. The first step in the process is identifying and eliminating the source of moisture that promotes mold growth, followed by  removing the existing mold, and taking steps to prevent its return. Mold Encapsulation Mold encapsulation, also known as mold encapsulant or mold sealant, is a method used to seal and cover surfaces contaminated with mold. It is often used in situations where complete mold removal may be challenging or costly. The process involves applying a specialized sealant or coating over the mold-affected surfaces. This sealant creates a barrier that encapsulates the mold, preventing it from releasing spores into the air and spreading. Mold encapsulation is a component of a larger mold remediation strategy that is typically used when it is not feasible to remove all the mold, such as in cases of extensive structural damage or when mold is deeply embedded in porous materials. Mold thrives in moist environments and can quickly grow into a big problem in your home or workplace, and may cause significant health problems and structural damage. At T.A.C.T. MT, we understand the causes of mold growth and its effects on health, and we are committed to providing effective and safe mold remediation services to return your home or business to a safe environment.  Steps in T.A.C.T.’s Mold Remediation Process: Identify the extent of the mold problem through inspection and testing using professional equipment that can assist with locating mold in hard-to-see areas, such as inside of walls.  Isolate and contain the affected area to prevent the spread of mold spores to other parts of your home. Remove and dispose of mold-infested materials, such as drywall, insulation, and carpeting, according to EPA guidelines including the "HEPA Sandwich" where we complete 2 detailed vacuuming with a microfiber wipe in-between. Clean and disinfect surfaces to eliminate mold and spores. Dry out the affected area thoroughly to prevent future mold growth. Use air purification equipment to eliminate spores in the air Discuss implementing measures with you to control moisture, such as fixing leaks, improving ventilation, and using dehumidifiers. Conducting post-remediation testing to ensure that the mold issue has been effectively addressed. What to Do if You Find Mold in Your Home Finding mold in your home or business can be stressful.

Enzymatic Cleaners: Enzymatic cleaners contain naturally occurring enzymes that effectively break down and eliminate organic compounds. For some clients, utilizing Hydrogen Peroxide as a part of our comprehensive solution is a better option and is proven to effectively remove mold. Air Scrubbing- We clean the air using “air scrubbers” equipped with HEPA filters to remove airborne particles and contaminants, including odor-causing molecules. HEPA Vacuums - these are a key component to our standard protocols include our "HEPA Sandwich" Sealing or Encapsulation- In some cases, we may recommend sealing or encapsulating anything that could retain mold, such as subflooring or walls, to prevent mold from re-eestablishing colonies in those areas.
