Mold
and Sewage
Unlike
building fires and other disasters affecting a single structure,
the size and extent of damage inflicted by hurricanes, catastrophic
storms and regional floods often hamper access to affected areas
for extended periods and greatly delay the drying of damaged
properties. This can leave a structure immersed in water or exhibiting
excessive moisture levels for days or weeks on end – well
beyond the 48 hours needed for dangerous molds to take hold and
the harmful bacteria (e.g., sewage) typical of flood waters to
fully saturate and multiply. As an experienced insurance restoration
contractor and a licensed and certified
microbial remediation company, we act aggressively to mitigate
further losses, while we begin the testing, drying/dehumidifying
and sanitization process. From there, we work directly with you,
your insurance adjuster, and your independent Certified Industrial
Hygienist to validate and agree on the full extent of the contamination,
clean up, and repair.
As a facility manager, property manager, or homeowner, resist the
temptation to attempt your own mold or bacteria-related cleanup and
employ ONLY certified microbial remediation contractors for these
requirements. In addition to the danger posed to unprotected workers,
mold spores, when disturbed and sent airborne, will spread easily
to unaffected areas causing further contamination and removal costs.
Furthermore, the ineffective cleaning and sanitation of mold and
bacteria-saturated buildings without the aide of sophisticated decontamination
equipment and hi-tech remediation processes will expose you and your
tenants or family to increasing amounts of harmful toxins in the
months following your re-entry into the property.
Let us help you curb the escalating costs of multiple decontamination
attempts by uncertified contractors and eliminate the hidden health
risks and the inevitable return of smells, mold, and bacteria. Call
