Stachybotrys requires a different level of response than common surface molds. Every service below reflects that.
🔍
Black Mold Identification & Assessment
Confirmed black mold removal starts with identification. Our Diggs, VA technicians collect surface swab samples from suspected areas and can have lab results confirming species within 24–48 hours. We don't assume Stachybotrys based on color — we confirm it, because the remediation protocol is different from standard mold removal and misidentification wastes your money.
😷
Full PPE & Containment Setup
Before any Stachybotrys removal begins in a Diggs property, our crew establishes Type III containment: double-layer polyethylene barriers floor-to-ceiling, HEPA negative air machines creating inward airflow, and a decontamination station at containment entry. Full Tyvek coveralls and N100 respirators worn by every technician in the work zone.

Complete Stachybotrys Material Removal
Stachybotrys on drywall, ceiling tiles, or subflooring means those materials must be removed — not treated in place. The mycotoxin-containing material itself is the hazard, and surface biocides don't render it safe or remove it from your Diggs property. We remove contaminated materials, bag them in heavy-duty poly, and dispose of them through proper waste channels.
💧
Structural Surface Treatment & Encapsulation
Post-removal structural treatment: HEPA vacuum of framing surfaces, EPA fungicide application, and encapsulant sealing of treated wood. The most thorough protocol available for Diggs properties with confirmed black mold.
📋
Independent Post-Removal Air Testing
After Black Mold Removal in any Diggs, VA property, an independent industrial hygienist collects post-removal air samples and sends them to an accredited lab. We will not declare a job complete without objective third-party confirmation that Stachybotrys spore counts have returned to acceptable levels.
🏗
Moisture Source Identification & Correction
Black mold doesn't grow without a chronic moisture source. We find it, document it, and tell you exactly what needs to be fixed. Removal without source correction in your Diggs property means we'll see the same problem again in 6–12 months.
