Remediation Structure Cleaning

At IAQ Genie, we know truly healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) goes way beyond just your HVAC system. Often, lingering air problems in your home come from deeply embedded hard to resolve issues. These hidden problems can continually release pollutants, allergens, and odors, making it tough to feel comfortable and breathe easy.

That's why we offer a full range of structural cleaning services. We tackle the root causes of poor IAQ, transforming your home into a healthier living space.

Tackling Complex Issues that Harm Your Air Quality:

Cigarette Smoke Cleanup

Cigarette smoke is more than just a bad smell; it's a stubborn, sticky residue that gets into every surface, fiber, and even the structure of your home. It's incredibly hard to remove and can cause lasting health concerns.

• The Problem: Tar and nicotine cling to walls, ceilings, floors, and even ductwork, constantly releasing that stale odor. Regular cleaning and painting usually don't work, as the smell often comes back.

• Our Solution: We use a multi-step approach. This involves deep cleaning all affected surfaces with specialized industrial-grade cleaners to break down tar and nicotine. We then apply odor-blocking primers and sealants to trap any remaining residue. For tough odors, we use advanced deodorization procedures like ozone treatments (in vacant properties) or hydroxyl generators to neutralize smells. We also clean or replace affected ductwork.

Professional Mold Cleanup

Mold is a serious IAQ threat. It releases spores and toxins that can trigger allergies, breathing problems, and other health issues. It often grows unseen in damp areas.

• The Problem: Mold thrives where there's moisture—behind walls, under floors, in basements, attics, or crawl spaces. If left alone, it spreads fast, damages your home, and drastically lowers your air quality.

• Our Solution: IAQ Genie follows strict guidelines published by the IICRC for mold remediation. Our process includes: 

  • Construction of an air tight containment to prevent the spread of contamination.

  • Identifying and fixing the moisture source to avoid reoccurrences. 

  • Safely removing all mold-damaged materials using specialized procedures and HEPA-filtered vacuums.

  • Thorough cleaning and drying of contaminated surfaces. 

  • Applying EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments. 

Targeted Allergen Cleaning

Even clean homes can harbor microscopic allergens like dust mite waste, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores. These are major triggers for sensitive individuals.

• The Problem: Standard cleaning often just stirs up fine allergens instead of removing them. These particles settle into carpets, upholstery, walls, and hard-to-reach spots, constantly floating back into the air you breathe.

• Our Solution: Our allergen-focused structure cleaning goes far beyond typical dusting. We use powerful, HEPA-fitted vacuums on all surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures) to capture 99.97% of microscopic particles. We also deploy professional Air Filtration Units (Air Scrubbers) throughout the process. These units continuously filter the air, capturing airborne dust and allergens as they're disturbed, leaving you with significantly cleaner air.

Hoarder Cleanup

Hoarding situations present extreme challenges to indoor air quality, often involving massive dust accumulation, mold growth, pest infestations, and overwhelming odors. These environments require specialized handling and a compassionate approach.

• The Problem: Homes affected by hoarding often have severely compromised IAQ due to excessive clutter trapping dust, impeding natural airflow, harboring mold, fostering pests, and accumulating strong odors. This creates an unsafe and unhealthy living environment.

• Our Solution: IAQ Genie approaches hoarder cleanup with both expertise and sensitivity. Our comprehensive process includes: systematic and safe removal of accumulated items and waste, careful handling of hazardous materials, followed by an intensive, top-to-bottom deep cleaning and sanitization. We implement powerful odor neutralization techniques and also assess for underlying structural issues like mold or pest damage that may have occurred due to the conditions.

Unattended Death / Decomp Cleaning

When a death goes unnoticed, the affected area can suffer significant contamination, strong decomposition odors, and structural damage that severely compromises indoor air quality and safety. This requires highly specialized biohazard cleanup.

• The Problem: Unattended death scenes often involve biological contaminants, bodily fluids, and pervasive decomposition odors that deeply penetrate materials. These conditions create hazardous environments and can lead to long-term IAQ issues if not properly addressed.

• Our Solution: This specialized service involves the safe and thorough removal of all biological contaminants and affected materials. We perform meticulous disinfection and sanitization of all surfaces, followed by expert odor removal using advanced techniques and equipment. Our goal is to restore the affected areas to a safe and habitable condition, by thoroughly cleaning and treating all impacted structural materials to eliminate health risks and foul odors.

Cleaning for Immune-Compromised Individuals

For those with weakened immune systems – such as patients returning home after cancer treatment, organ transplants, or extensive hospital stays – a truly clean environment is essential for preventing infection and illness. Even everyday dust can harbor pathogens.

• The Problem: Standard home cleanliness isn't enough to protect highly vulnerable individuals from environmental bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and allergens that can cause serious health setbacks.

• Our Solution: IAQ Genie is specially prepared to thoroughly clean and prepare properties before sick relatives come home. We perform a deep, systematic cleaning using HEPA-fitted vacuums on all surfaces to capture microscopic contaminants. We also utilize professional Air Filtration Units to continuously scrub the air, removing airborne pathogens and fine particles. Our goal is to significantly reduce the risk of infection, providing a safer, healthier environment for your loved one's recovery.

At IAQ Genie, we believe a healthy home starts with a healthy structure. By addressing these fundamental issues, we provide comprehensive solutions that not only improve your indoor air quality but also restore the safety, comfort, and integrity of your Leominster home.
