Upstairs room mold remediation in Southern Highlands

We got called out for mold remediation in an upstairs room of a two-story Southern Highlands home, with visible growth at the base of the wall.

The thermal scan of the walls came first, then the room was lined in plastic and taped off so mold spores would stay in that room while drywall came out. The crew wore protective suits to take the ceiling drywall down to the joists and plumbing lines and to cut out and bag the drywall with visible growth at the wall base.
