Mold Remediation, When?

Flood remediation & cleanup typically includes sanitizing homes and businesses for molds and mildews that formed after the floods receded. These same surfaces are often covered with other micro-organisms that must be eliminated.Molds and other microbes start growing on water damaged materials within 48 hours after flood waters have receded. Mold contamination in buildings can cause significant health problems.

These problems can include simple allergic responses such as eye, nose and throat irritation, excessive colds and flu, lowered immune systems, acute mycotoxicosis - a severe reaction to mold produced toxic chemicals, mold induced asthma, mold lung infections like aspergillosis, and chronic debilitating lung diseases such hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

If properly remediated right after the waters recede these health risks can be avoided along with the cost of future remediation and material replaceement. A consultation with a our Remediation Expert is best. Serving Seattle, Bellevue, Auburn, Bothell, Redmond, Issaquah and all of King county.
