FIRE WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION
MOLD REMEDIATION.
Whether it’s black, green, or white, everyone is familiar with mold. Household mold has a musty odor and can appear in various colors on walls or other home surfaces. Mold can be harmless, unattractive, or even toxic. Some forms of mold can cause health problems ranging from an allergic reaction to a serious illness. Mold is a fungus that feeds off of moisture. If a home is poorly ventilated items that absorb moisture such as carpets, clothes and newspapers can further aid in the growth of mold in your house. While some household materials or items are able to absorb or dissipate moisture, if placed in the wrong room of a house, such as a bathroom, these areas can be a breeding ground for mold.
Carpet mold is difficult to clean. Left alone, this type of mold can cause extensive damage that requires the complete removal and replacement of the carpet. A homeowner can prevent the level of moisture damage in their house by having the plumbing, windows, and walls and roof free of any leaks or moisture buildup. To reduce moisture damage further, the drip pans in refrigerators and air conditioners should be kept clean and dry, and the toilet tanks and cold water pipes insulated to reduce condensation. Although these preventative tips may appear easy to do, they can be quite difficult to maintain. If not mitigated or controlled correctly, mold can continue to thrive and spread wherever moisture levels remain constant.
Mold removal should be taken seriously. People and animals risk inhaling mold particles if the homeowner does not remove the mold carefully and correctly.

Six Steps Our Company Takes To Remediate Mold:
1) Antimicrobial ApplicationThis is a first step of corrective action. If your home or business has had recent water damage, but there is no visible mold growth, we can apply an antimicrobial agent that will prevent mold growth from occurring until the wet area is dried out. Antimicrobials can also kill existing mold spores if they are present.
2) Source IdentificationMold is often found in places that have been previously exposed to water or are near a moisture source. Some areas of concern are bathrooms, basements, sink cabinets and window sills due to condensation.
We can identify elevated moisture concentrations in residential and commercial structures through the use of state of the art, industry specific moisture detection equipment and inspection tools such as thermal imaging.
3) ContainmentMold can spread quickly if given the right conditions. Once the source of moisture intrusion has been repaired, our technicians isolate the contaminated area(s) to eliminate the spread of mold spores to other areas of the property. Containment is critical in minimizing the potential effects of cross contamination to other unaffected areas.
4) Air FiltrationDuring the process of mold removal, spores can be disturbed and become airborne. In conjunction with containment, the air needs to be cleaned as well. Negative air machines with high efficiency particulate (HEPA) air filters run continuously throughout the project. This ensures that mold spores, dust, microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs), and other airborne debris are removed from the affected area.
5) Removal and CleanupIn most instances, the only effective way to ensure proper mold remediation is to remove affected materials completely. This commonly involves drywall, insulation, wood trim, carpet and even furniture.
We follow S520 Industry Standards written by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to professionally clean up mold from your home or business. If the area contaminated with mold is greater than 10 sq. ft, the use of a licensed environmental hygienist is required. The hygienist will provide a final clearance test, giving our customer peace of mind that the mold has been properly mitigated.
6) ReplacementAs previously indicated, it could be possible that areas contaminated by mold require the removal of affected materials. In situations like this, we can provide restoration services and repair affected areas with new building materials. At the conclusion, the property will be restored to a pre-loss condition.
