STEP 01
Inspect & Map
Mold mapping and pest entry point identification. We examine shaded walls, north faces, vegetation contact zones, and drainage patterns. Carpenter insect holes probed for tunnel depth and seasonal return evidence.
STEP 02
Mold Kill Treatment
EPA-registered mold kill solution applied to all affected surfaces. Dwell time respected. Dead mold neutralized at the cell level, not bleached over, which leaves the spore structure intact and allows rapid re-colonization.
STEP 03
Neutralizer Wash
Mold kill residue neutralized and flushed. Surface cleaned to bare wood. Mold cannot establish on a clean, dry, properly finished surface, but it will return if the moisture source is not addressed.
STEP 04
Pest Treatment
All insect entry points treated and filled. Carpenter insect holes: borate applied into the tunnel, plugged with matching material, and surface-matched. The return cycle is broken.
STEP 05
Borate Preservative
Applied to all affected logs and surrounding tissue. Penetrates wood fiber and persists indefinitely in dry conditions. Toxic to fungi, mold, and wood-boring insects. Non-toxic to humans and pets.
STEP 06
Mold-Resistant Finish
Water-based, mold-inhibiting stain system applied. The moisture source that caused the infection is documented in the discharge notes, because mold always returns if the moisture does not stop.
