Mold can be a source of infection and illness
Mold in your home or business can pose serious health risks, particularly when left unchecked. Exposure to mold spores can cause respiratory issues such as coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, especially in individuals with asthma or chronic lung conditions. Allergic reactions are common, with symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. Prolonged exposure may lead to more severe effects, including chronic sinus infections and irritation of the eyes and skin. Mold produces mycotoxins, which, in significant amounts, can cause headaches, fatigue, and memory problems. For individuals with weakened immune systems, mold exposure increases the risk of infections. Babies, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions are especially vulnerable. Preventing mold growth is vital for safeguarding health and maintaining a safe environment.

Mold Remediation
Removing mold growth in a home or business requires careful steps to ensure safety and prevent recurrence. We begin by identifying the source of moisture fueling mold growth, such as leaks or humidity, and address it to avoid regrowth. It's important to wear protective gear like gloves, goggles, and a mask to minimize exposure. Our team will contain the affected area by sealing it off with plastic sheeting to prevent spores from spreading. We then use a mixture of detergent and water to scrub mold off non-porous surfaces; avoiding dry scrubbing, which can release spores into the air. For porous materials like drywall or insulation, replacement is often necessary. After cleaning, we thoroughly dry the area with fans or dehumidifiers. We also dispose of contaminated items safely and vacuum with a HEPA filter. It's important to regularly monitor and maintain humidity levels to prevent mold from returning.

Why Professionals are Required
We Kill 99.9% of Bacteria
Bacteria can pose serious dangers, including infections, food poisoning, and antibiotic resistance. Pathogenic strains may cause diseases like tuberculosis and strep throat, while antibiotic resistance complicates treatment, leading to harder-to-manage and potentially fatal illnesses.
More than Blood
Contaminated blood poses severe risks, including transmission of diseases like HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Infected blood can lead to life-threatening health issues, spread through transfusions or contact, making rigorous screening and safety crucial.
Mold is Dangerous
Mold can be hazardous, causing respiratory issues, allergies, and worsening asthma. Prolonged exposure may lead to serious health problems, including infections and immune system impairments. Controlling moisture and promptly addressing mold growth are essential for health and safety.
