Mold
is a serious concern these days. Published studies and media coverage have
increased our awareness to the dangers of microbial contamination. Pro-Care's
employees are trained to apply the proper remediation protocol in these circumstances
to ensure occupant safety.
The purpose of mold remediation is to remove the mold to prevent human exposure
and damage that may occur to building materials and contents.
A
pipe leak that was undetected in a vacant condo unit is what caused this mold
nightmare.
A
slow progressive roof leak can result in mold growth as seen in this case.
Prevention Tips for the Homeowner
• When water leaks indoors from any source — ACT
IMMEDIATELY!
• If wet materials are dried within 24 to 48 hours,
in most cases, mold will not grow.
• Keep air conditioning drip pans clean, and drain lines clear and flowing
properly.
• Clean and repair roof gutters.
• Keep indoor humidity low.
• Check for moisture or condensation collecting
on windows, walls, or pipes. ACT IMMEDIATELY to dry wet surfaces and correct
the condition.
