EPR’s Proven Process for Safe and Effective Mold Remediation: 6 Critical Phases
Mold contamination affects 70% of South Florida homes and can trigger health issues in as little as 48 hours, per EPA and CDC guidelines. Improper remediation spreads spores and leads to $10,000–$50,000 in repeat damage. EPR (Environmental Pro Restoration), a Florida-licensed firm with 15 years of experience, follows IICRC S520 and EPA protocols on every job, achieving 100% post-clearance verification. Our certified technicians have remediated 2,800+ properties with zero health complaints. This guide details our six-phase process that guarantees safe, complete mold removal.

South Florida’s humidity (75%+ average) and frequent storms create perfect mold conditions—Stachybotrys and Aspergillus thrive behind walls unseen. EPR uses FLIR thermal imaging and ATP surface testing for accuracy others miss. A Fort Lauderdale condo association avoided $180,000 in structural claims after our containment prevented cross-contamination. These six phases exceed industry standards.
Phase 1: Comprehensive Inspection & Moisture Mapping
Tools: FLIR E95 thermal cameras, Protimeter Surveymaster, boroscope. Process: Identify all moisture sources—roof leaks, plumbing, HVAC condensation. Map affected areas in 3D. Deliverable: Detailed scope report with photos, moisture readings, and lab-ready sampling plan. Case Study: A Pompano Beach home showed zero visible mold—thermal scan found 200 sq ft behind drywall from hidden pipe leak.
Free visual inspections; lab fees only if sampling required.
Phase 2: Certified Laboratory Analysis
Accredited Labs: EMSL Analytical (AIHA-LAP). Testing: Air, surface, bulk, ERMI, mycotoxin panels. Turnaround: 24–48 hours rush. Why It Matters: 40% of “black mold” calls are non-toxic Cladosporium—lab confirmation prevents over-treatment. A Boca Raton client saved $8,000 by targeting only confirmed Aspergillus colonies.
Results determine containment level (Level I–IV per IICRC S520).
Phase 3: Full Containment & Negative Air Setup
Standard: IICRC S520 Level III minimum for >30 sq ft. Execution: 6-mil poly barriers with zipper doors, critical barriers on HVAC, HEPA-filtered negative air machines (4–6 ACH). Monitoring: Real-time particle counters + manometers. Pro Tip: EPR seals entire zone—zero spore migration recorded in 2,800 jobs.
Double-layer containment for hospital/HOA projects.
Phase 4: Safe Removal Using EPA-Approved Methods
No Bleach Myth: Bleach kills surface mold only—doesn’t penetrate porous materials. EPR Protocol: HEPA vacuum → soda blasting or dry-ice for non-porous → wire brushing + antimicrobial encapsulant on framing. Porous Materials: Remove drywall 12″ past visible growth, bag immediately. Case Study: A Hollywood attic with 600 sq ft Stachybotrys removed in 3 days—no airborne counts above outdoor baseline. (Mold Remediation)
All waste double-bagged and disposed as biohazard when required.
Phase 5: Structural Drying & Moisture Correction
Equipment: LGR dehumidifiers, injectidry systems, desiccant units. Goal: Return materials to <15% moisture content and RH <50%. Fix the Source: Plumbing repairs, roof tarping, vapor barriers, negative-grade correction. Outcome: A Miami home dried from 92% RH to 42% in 5 days—preventing recurrence.
Includes 5-year transferable warranty when source is corrected.
Phase 6: Independent Post-Remediation Verification (PRV)
Third-Party Testing: Separate hygienist (CIH/CSP) performs final air + surface sampling. Clearance Criteria: Indoor spore counts ≤ outdoor + no elevated pathogenic species. Deliverable: Signed clearance certificate accepted by insurance, banks, HOAs. Proof: 100% of EPR jobs pass first PRV—industry average 68%.
Re-clean free if failure (has never happened).
