Remediation Areas

We generally will requre the remediation contractor to seal the wall around door with firring strips screwed into the dry wall instead of 3M Contractor Tape. The bottom can be sealed with a variety of different methods. This makes it air tight for microbial intrusion. This helps prevent the adjacent area from getting contaminated during the tear out phase of the mold cleanup.
