Mold Remediation
Conservation & RestorationThe process of safely removing mold growth from heritage objects or within historic buildings. Mold can occur on organic materials (paper, textiles, wood) in damp conditions, causing stains and weakening the material. Remediation involves first drying and stabilizing the environment, then cleaning or treating affected items with appropriate methods (like HEPA vacuuming, alcohol wiping, or specialized biocides) to eliminate mold and prevent its return.
