Mold Abatement
Molds serve an important role in our environment. They are used for vaccines, and contribute to our environmental cycle by helping in the decomposition process.
It is when mold is present indoors that it becomes an issue that may require remediation. Mold grows where there is excess moisture. It can consume wood, dust, carpet, food, and other items it can digest as nutrients. If left unchecked, it will eventually lead to structural damage.
In addition, indoor mold exposure can present a health risk. It can...
- Cause localized infections.These can be much more dangerous in those who have impaired immunity, AIDS, uncontrolled diabetes, or those taking immune suppressive drugs.
- Cause asthma attacks in some individuals who are allergic to mold.
- Irritate the eyes, skin, nose, and throat in certain individuals.
The best way to prevent mold is to avoid excess moisture which is required for mold to grow.
The first step in a successful mold remediation project is the identification of the type of mold and areas affected. A sampling and analysis of the suspect surfaces is the best way to insure the proper identification (see Property Inspectors).

Our abatement method depends on the type and scope of contamination. As you would think, the larger the infestation, the more comprehensive our response.
Our approach can range from localized cleanup to a sealed containment area utilizing exhaust fans and air scrubbers creating negative air pressure and preventing further contamination through filtration. Our team is fully trained to tackle any range of issues.
