Mold is a naturally occurring element in our environment and is necessary outdoors to decompose organic matter. The introduction of water into a structure, that is not quickly or effectively dried can cause mold to grow indoors.
Elevated spore-counts inside a home or commercial building can cause health issues to its occupants who may be susceptible. In some cases, indoor mold growth may not be obvious. It is possible that mold may be growing on hidden surfaces, such as the backside of drywall, wallpaper, or on the top of ceiling tiles.
Investigating hidden molds may be difficult and will require caution. For example, removal of drywall can lead to a massive release of spores from mold growing on the inside of the wall cavity. If you believe that you have a hidden mold problem, want to consider hiring an experienced professional.
It's important to have trained professionals conduct the removal of mold. The safety of our clients is our number one priority. Our field staff is trained to contain the work area to ensure unaffected areas of the property are not cross contaminated as a result of our work. Following containment, we use specialized cleaning techniques and industrial strength anti-microbial solutions to complete the remediation process.
The Role of an Industrial Hygienist or Environmental Consultant:
An Industrial Hygienist or Environmental Consultant is highly recommended to be involved with all mold, unsanitary water damages, or bio hazard cleaning situations. The consultant is hired by the property owner to perform testing to ensure all work performed by the restoration contractor is being done correctly and the mold has been sufficiently removed. The consultant ensures the property owner is protected and work has been performed to industry standards.
