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.

This step is crucial because addressing the underlying cause is essential for effective odor removal. Source Elimination or Remediation- If the odor is due to a specific problem, such as mold, sewage, or a dead animal, we remove or remediate the source of the odor.

Cleaning and Sanitizing- Next, our trained technicians thoroughly clean and sanitize the affected areas to remove any lingering odor-causing bacteria, using specialized cleaning agents and equipment. Odor Neutralization- We neutralize the odors through the use of ozone generators, air purifiers, or activated carbon filters to break down or capture and remove odor molecules in the air. Thermal Fogging- Thermal fogging is a method in which a fogging machine disperses a deodorizing solution in a fine mist throughout the affected area. This helps neutralize and eliminate odors that have penetrated porous surfaces. CLO2 Fogging: CLO2 (chlorine dioxide) fogging penetrates surfaces, such as walls, floors, furniture, and hard to reach places, to eliminate odor causing bacteria. Air Scrubbing- We clean the air using “air scrubbers” equipped with HEPA filters to remove airborne particles and contaminants, including odor-causing molecules. Sealing or Encapsulation- In some cases, we may recommend sealing or encapsulating anything that could retain odors, such as subflooring or walls, to prevent the odor from re-emerging. Monitoring and Follow-Up- Air purifiers may need to be left running in the affected area for several hours up to several days.
