What is Mold and Why Must it Be Removed?
Mold is a microscopic organism, a type of fungus that grows when conditions are optimal, such as when moisture and food are present. Mold is often associated with humid, musty, damp conditions that allow it to grow and multiply by releasing spores. Once mold is growing, it can cause structural damage to your property and a wide variety of health hazards in humans, including rashes, headaches, respiratory issues, and more.
Because mold thrives on organic materials present in dozens of home construction materials like drywall, insulation, wallpaper, wall paints, carpet, sheetrock, and wood, it is very difficult to stop mold once it starts. And it only takes 24-48 hours for it to form when conditions are right. Among the most common mold-related symptoms in humans include eye irritation, congestion, fatigue, rashes, coughs, or difficulty breathing.
How Can I Detect Mold in My Home or Office?
If you notice a musty odor or see visible black or white specks along damp or moist walls or surfaces, you may have mold. Some mold may be invisible behind walls, but can still be active and cause house mold damage as well as health problems. Moreover, even dry or dead mold can release toxins and cause health issues. If you had previous water damage issues from leaks and floods, you may not be aware that mold may be growing in your house. Any home components or furnishings damaged by previous leaks or plumbing accidents could be growing mold. Please call KW Construction and Restoration, the mold remediation professionals, to come to your home or place of business in any situation where mold is suspected.
How Does KW Construction and Restoration Work to Clean Up Mold in Colorado?
Our mold remediation technicians follow our methodical and well-planned mold abatement process to take care of mold clean-up and repair to your satisfaction. We use the most accurate and up-to-date moisture meters to measure moisture in your wood floors, walls, ceilings, and cabinets. We then use infrared cameras to identify the origin and the extent of the damage. Once a plan is formulated, we follow that ensure we get your mold clean-up job done right, including:
Extract & Remove Standing Water Before Drying the Area
Our mold removal professionals use commercial-grade dehumidifiers as well as other water removal and extraction equipment to dry out your floors, carpets, cabinets, and walls to contain damage and abate mold spread and growth.
Secure the Affected Area
To prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of the house, the contaminated area is sealed off using plastic sheeting. We then create negative air pressure to direct the mold away from indoor space.
Dispose of Affected Components and Materials
Some materials will need to be disposed of, such as ceiling tiles, insulation, wallboards, carpet, soft furnishings, clothes, papers, and books. Non-porous metals, glass, and hard plastics may be cleaned and reused. Depending on the degree of mold damage, semi-porous wood may be cleaned up by drying, sanding, and treating with antimicrobial solvent before reusing.
Treat the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning System
Your heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and crawl spaces will be dried, cleaned, and then treated with HEPA filtration to remove remaining mold particles.
Whole House Mold Remediation and Disinfection
We use negative ions, which are electrically charged particles that remove airborne contaminants, to disinfect your home from mold spores.
