Concerns of Mold

When left unattended, water damage may lead to the growth of mold in your home or business.

Water damage in your home or business is a rare event and could be a result of something as simple as broken water pipes or a damaged water heater. More catastrophic events may include floods or weather events like tornadoes or hurricanes. Mold feeds on materials in your home or office such as wood, paper, and drywall. Introduce a source of water even a small amount and molds can thrive.

Molds can damage more than valuable property. Many people experience negative health effects that have been associated with exposure to mold. These health effects may include a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, congestion, aggravation of asthma, sore throat, or inflammation of the sinus.

People with weak immune systems, allergies, o rrespiratory problems are especially susceptible. Young children or the elderly may also be at risk to the ill effects of mold.

Dealing with Mold

Prompt action is required to prevent new mold growth. If your property has water damage, it is vital to remove the source of water immediately and dry the structure as soon as possible.

Our primary concern is for the health and safety of your clients and our crew. We protect the health of workers and occupants by wearing protective clothing and prevent mold from spreading to other occupied areas of the building.

We control mold where it grows and keep mold contamination from spreading from the source to clean areas. This is done by keeping the contaminates from becoming airborne. In some cases, the damage is so severe it becomes necessary to remove materials damaged by mold. It is our goal to restore your property to pre-damage state, and then take preventative measures to stop the source of moisture that caused the mold to grow initially. If the moisture problem continues, the mold could return despite the very best clean up effort.
