Mold Remediation

Mold becomes a serious problem when it is allowed to grow on a wet or damp spot. Mold has the potential to cause serious health problems, such as allergic reactions sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash. It can also irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs.
Mold is very difficult to eliminate.  Handling its removal properly is important because it can cause problems long after remediation.
What are molds?

Molds are a category of micro-organism called fungi that includes mushrooms and yeasts.  These are multi-celled organisms that are almost everywhere.  If we keep things dry, molds do not grow.  Mold becomes troublesome when there is excessive humidity or moisture.

  A “Mold Situation” can originate from a sudden water release, like a pipe bursting, an appliance breaking, a toilet overflowing, or such chronic conditions as leaking roofs, slab leaks and rusted plumbing.  High humidity, (warm air that condenses on cool surfaces) can trigger mold problems.

How do you know if there is a mold problem in your home or business? 
Follow your nose.  A musty or earthy smell often indicates the presence of mold.  Discoloration is also a sign of mold.

Our adherence to Strict Industry Guidelines ensures proficiency in carrying out the procedures of Mold Remediation.
 
• The first step is to stop the moisture at its source. 
• Then, we make sure the affected area is sealed-off, from the rest of the structure. 
• Next, all salvageable items are removed and unsalvageable items are discarded.

The remaining affected area is then thoroughly dried. 
Any visible Mold growth would be Hepa-Vac’d, (Hepa vacuums have special filters that capture super fine mold particles).

The surfaces is then wire brushed or sanded to ensure complete mold removal
