Technician making a containment on mold job

In this photo you can see a technician hanging some plastic around a door frame. This practice is to make a contained area around an area affected of mold to keep from spreading to non-affected areas.

We start by putting painters tape on the wall to protect the paint. secondly, we take a can of spray glue to get the plastic to stick to the protected tape. After the plastic is sticking we use tape on top of that to get a really good hold and create a tight seal. Finally, there is a plastic zipper attached to allow entry into the area.

Precautions like this are important to creating a clean and safe work area. We also use this practice when we come in contact with large areas and small amount of wet material to help speed the drying process.
