Mold Remediation
Mold Remediation can involve the complete disinfection and drying of the mold-contaminated material. The nature of the contaminated materials and the degree of contamination determines the effective and appropriate remediation procedure to be used. We cover a 50-mile radius of Menomonee Falls, WI.
This coverage goes as far north as New Holstein, WI, as far south as Lake Geneva, WI, and as far west as Lake Mills, WI. Whether you are located in Milwaukee County or in other areas like Waukesha, Racine, Washington County, or Ozaukee County, you can count on us for a great service in Wisconsin.
Building occupants and homeowners are very recently becoming more aware of the health hazards associated with mold contamination. Moisture associated with water intrusion onto organic surfaces, such as sheetrock and wood, is the primary cause of mold growth indoors.
Mold growth can occur on the most common building surfaces if they contain organic materials in their composition. Growth can usually begin within 24 hours after the appropriate moisture content has been achieved. This moisture content is referred to as the ‘water activity’ of the material.
Various types (genus & species) of molds have been medically proven to cause many health issues, which include allergic reactions, respiratory tract sensitivity, chronic fatigue, active infection including hemosiderosis (bleeding into the lungs), and possibly cancer. Other genera of molds can damage furnishings, destroy wood, and compromise the integrity of structural materials. When a mold problem has been identified, it is important to address the problem, as quickly as possible, to minimize exposure and material damage.
When mold remediation is performed correctly and precautionary measures, such as humidity control are exercised and in the absence of any accidents involving water, any future mold growth will be greatly minimized if not arrested, completely.
