The
Problem with Mold Yes, with
unwelcome water comes the threat of mold. A broken
pipe, water heater or a sump pump on the blink can
cause leaks that create standing water. And standing
water inevitably will lead to dangerous mold.
 Why?
Because buildings are
basically made of organic materials; wood, paper,
drywall even some types of insulation are actual food
sources for mold and it doesn't take a lot of moisture
to create it.
Mold and
Health Issues
What are the negative
effects? Reports
continue to role in as to the health effects that come
with continued exposure to mold. One study conducted
by the Institute of Medicine claim that effects vary
from runny nose and sneezing to congestion, asthma,
sore throat, coughing and even sinus inflammation.
Of course, not everyone
will suffer from the so-called mold risk. Ones that
may are children and those with immune issues already
present, such as chronic asthma, lung disease and
severe allergies.
It has become enough of a
concern that Realtors and real estate agents in cities
like Colorado Springs, Colorado have been advising
home buyers to have the property inspected for mold
before purchasing.

Four Steps
to Ending Mold Problems
Then we address these;
safety, documentation, control, removal and
correction.
1. Safety and Control
Because of the threat of
health problems since disturbing the mold can cause risk, it's essential
that the process prevents mold from spreading to other areas of the
building.
2. Documentation
All professionally trained
remediators will record specific condition and level of contamination and
moisture saturation. A proper paper trail will keep record of each process
until normal state is returned to the property.
3. Removal
Sometimes it is necessary to
actually remove physical material contaminated by mold. Other times mold
spores can be vacuumed out using HEPA filters combined with cleaning
soiled surfaces with special detergents designed for the job.
4. Correction
If the moisture creating
source is not corrected the mole will just come back. This is the most
important step in stopping mold issues to begin with. We assure that the
water problem is stopped so that damage doesn't continue.
