Mold and Fungus growth being removed, as soon as it’s discovered, by a licensed professional is important to your family’s health and your home. Homeowners typically realize there’s a problem when they begin smelling mold, see black spots, white puffy spots or marks indicating standing water on floor joists and foundation walls. This can also sometimes materialize with warping floor boards, peeling paint or wood rot. Sometimes health issues like itchy eyes, nose or throat, cough, chronic sinus infections, asthma, skin rashes and other ailments can also clue in a homeowner that there is a problem.
Arresting the moisture sources is a key component of the larger issue. Open foundation vents, gutters draining to closely to the foundation, insufficent vapor barriers, leaking pipes, condensation from ductwork, poor grading or cracks in the foundation are the most likely cuplrits.
Remediation of mold and fungi can be a labor intensive process and involves installing temporary barriers and air scrubbers with heavy duty EPA filters to prevent mold spores, dust and other particulates from entering your living space. We use an EPA registered disinfectant and mildewstat called Shockwave that is sprayed on all wood surfaces and infected area.Wire brushes, sponsges, soft bristle brusheds and even mud knives are used to remove the mold and fugus. Removal of the material is extremely important because dormant growth is just as allergenic and detrimental to your health as active fungi and mold growth. After this is remedied, we will discuss options with you to prevent re-growth in the future.
