Bioremediation uses biological activity to reduce or transform certain contaminants under controlled conditions.

What this means at your property

The term is used in environmental treatment and can also appear in descriptions of products that break down particular organic residues. It does not mean that adding any biological product will restore a contaminated building, and it is different from removing mold-damaged material.

What should a treatment proposal explain?

Ask which contaminant is targeted, what conditions the process requires and how completion will be demonstrated. Confirm whether physical removal, disposal or another specialist service is also needed.
