It’s important to get your property dry as quickly as possible. Excess humidity and moisture provide an ideal environment for mold and mildew to grow. During the drying process we will monitor your property to make sure the drying process is working well and whether mold remediation is necessary.

Excess moisture and water inside your home can lead to serious structural damage, damage your foundation or mold growth. The longer your property is affected by water and moisture, the greater the likelihood of secondary damage.

Avoid walking on wet carpets, tie up curtains, and use foil or plastic containers on the legs of furniture, or lift with blocks, to prevent wicking. Avoid coming into contact with flood waters, as they may contain bacteria, viruses, and other hazardous materials. Call 936-321-7205 as soon as possible.

There are more than 100,000 types of mold and most of them are not harmful to humans. Some individuals are more likely to experience symptoms than others. Adverse reactions include an elevated risk of allergic reaction, bronchial infection, and respiratory troubles. People with asthma are particularly sensitive to indoor air quality problems. Mold poses a greater risk to people with weakened immune systems, children, and the elderly.

Molds which are most dangerous to humans emit toxic gaseous substances known as Mycotoxins. In concentrated amounts, they pose a serious health risk and should be professionally remediated.

Some of the most toxic types of mold are:

• Stachybotrys
• Aspergillus
• Penicillium
• Alternaria
• Fusarium
• Chaetornium

Whenever mold growth is present you should be concerned – as it is often accompanied by another problem, such as water damage caused by a leaking pipe or roof or improper HVAC units to control humidity. Mold should not grow inside buildings, and when it does, it should be handled by a professional with experience removing mold.

Many people believe that using a bleach-based cleaning solution will effectively remove mold, but this is not true and the mold growth will often return. Why? Mold relies on excessive moisture to grow, and unless that is addressed, it will return. Removing mold yourself can also result in mold spores being sent airborne where they can travel to other parts of your property.
