Visit and Inspection — What Happens

A visit in Old Fig Garden starts the way it does everywhere else on this site: the affected rooms are looked at first, then the materials around them — walls, floors, ceilings and cabinets — so the extent of the mold is found before any work is planned. The findings decide what work is needed and which rooms and materials are involved.

After the visit, the work is talked through with you: what needs doing, which rooms are involved, and what preparation is needed. The method used is confirmed on the call — this page does not promise a particular method for any home in Old Fig Garden. Follow-up, where the job needs it, is agreed on the visit, and any drying and follow-up are talked through before the visit ends.

Mold Remediation in Old Fig Garden: What to Expect on the Day

On the day, the areas in the plan are worked through in sequence, starting with the most affected room and the source of the damp. You will be told in advance which areas need to be clear and when they are ready to use again — that timing depends on the work involved, and it is explained on the day.

After the work, the affected rooms are looked at again — and you will be told what to watch for afterwards. If the problem comes back, call and describe what you see; the next step is planned from what you describe.

Preparation is confirmed with you before the visit, and it depends on the problem and the rooms involved. Clear access to the affected rooms, note when the mold first appeared, and do not disturb a large area of visible mold — in Old Fig Garden as anywhere else, disturbing it can spread spores into the air.
