Remediation is the process of identifying and removing microbial contaminants such as mold, bacteria, and viruses from an environment. These contaminants can pose health risks and cause damage to buildings and materials.
The remediation process includes identifying the source of microbial growth, containing the affected area to prevent the spread of contaminants, addressing the source of moisture, and removing or treating the contamination. This may involve cleaning, disinfecting, or removing affected materials.
Microbial remediation requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and protocols to ensure contaminants are removed safely and effectively. Addressing microbial contamination promptly helps protect the health of occupants and prevents further damage to the property.
Microbial growth is the spread and development of microorganisms such as mold, mildew, bacteria, and fungi. These organisms thrive in a variety of environments, especially in areas with high humidity, excess moisture, or water damage.

Steps To Take
Microbial remediation is not a do-it-yourself project. Safe and effective removal requires experienced professionals and specialized tools, along with processes that follow IICRC standards.
Our Claims Coordinator can schedule a visit for our technicians to inspect your property and determine the cause of potential microbial growth. This may include measuring moisture levels in affected areas or scheduling an air quality test if no visible growth is present.
Our team can also help you determine whether the damage may be covered by insurance and assist with submitting the necessary documentation. If you prefer to pay out of pocket, we can provide a detailed quote for your approval.
What To Expect
Discovering possible microbial growth in your home can be overwhelming, and at CAMCO Services, LLC, we want to help put your mind at ease. One of our technicians will come out to take moisture readings, determine the cause of the growth, and map the full extent of the affected area. That information is then brought back to our office so our team can develop a clear plan of action and provide an estimate for remediation.
During the remediation process, our technicians will treat the affected areas and may leave equipment such as a dehumidifier or air scrubber on-site for 24-48 hours. In most cases, this process is less invasive than other services we offer, as work is often completed in areas like basements or crawlspaces.
Our Claims Coordinator will be available throughout the process to answer your questions and ensure your insurance adjuster receives all necessary documentation if a claim has been filed. Most remediation projects take one to three days, and an air scrubber may remain overnight on the final day.
