A mold problem is always a moisture problem. Moisture problems in buildings can be caused by water damage from floods, broken pipes, failed appliances, etc., as well as by on-going and unnoticed leaks from pipes, roofs or around doors and windows. In some cases, building design issues that cause high humidity levels also can support mold growth.
Signs of Mold Contamination
Often when mold and toxins enter a building, they will damage the structure as well as causing unsightly stains and odors. Mildew and mold can rot the framing around windows and doors, or creep into porous surfaces of the concrete, wood, insulation or carpet and fabrics – which often require a complete replacement.
If any of these are occurring in your home or business, you may have a mold problem:
Mold Inspection
The purpose of a mold inspection is to locate potential mold infestations, determine the cause and provide information for an effective remediation (removal) plan. A mold inspection is a visual inspection of a property for mold and conditions that may cause mold. The inspection may also include moisture readings of construction materials, including exterior walls, interior walls, floors, cabinets, shower enclosures and concrete slabs. Emergency Restoration Specialists uses state-of-the-art technology to detect excessive moisture in construction materials, the primary cause of indoor mold problems.
Mold Removal and Remediation
Mold remediation is a process that follows inspection and testing, in which the results demonstrated the presence of potentially dangerous amounts of mold contaminants at a property. Contaminated areas are isolated from other areas of the property so that there is no cross-contamination. Specialized equipment, tools and personnel are used to decontaminate affected areas and apply processes to prevent future growth. Emergency Restoration Specialists will not only completely and thoroughly remove the molds and toxins; we can also repair the damage they caused. For mold remediation homeowners can trust Emergency Restoration Specialists.
Mold Testing
Mold testing is the actual collecting of samples for laboratory analysis. The purpose of mold testing is to identify what (if any) types of molds are present on surfaces, in the air and in hidden areas such as wall cavities, attics or crawl spaces. Identification and quantification produces useful data when determining proper remediation procedures as well as the seriousness of potential health risks.
At Emergency Restoration Specialists we use four types of sampling methods in a standard mold test: surface samples, bulk samples, air samples and inner wall samples.
Clearance Testing
A clearance test is performed after the mold remediation work has been completed in order to ensure that the remediation was successful and no longer a problem. Clearance testing results are compared to results taken from an initial inspection performed prior to the remediation process.
A comprehensive report is produced after every inspection, including visual conclusions and equipment readings, as well as the laboratory results of samples taken at the time of the inspection. Laboratory technicians examine each sample for common and toxic molds and other allergens and particulates.
