Step 3: Mold may not always grow in one area, so we need to determine how much contamination there is. Calculating the size will impact how we approach mold removal and clean-up. The goal is to stop the growth within the home and avoid exposing homeowners to large amounts of mold.

Step 4: Mold removal and remediation always involve cleaning up existing mold while avoiding exposure and preventing new growth by addressing the moisture source. Lastly, we proceed the adequate drying and air purification to ensure everything is "Like it never even happened."
