Mold Prevention Services
Mold prevention is a crucial part of the water mitigation and restoration processes. Often referred to as a "silent killer," mold can be difficult to detect, especially when it grows in hidden areas like ceilings, walls, and floors. The issue with mold is that it can go unnoticed for long periods, causing potential harm to both your property and your health. Since mold is often invisible to the naked eye, it's easy to overlook its presence and the negative effects it may be having. While most people don’t have the tools or expertise to identify mold growth, we do. That’s why we offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure that your home stays healthy, safe, and structurally sound for the long term.
Our specialized tools and technology provide great value to our clients, extending far beyond the initial water damage cleanup and restoration. In fact, we even offer inspections separate from our restoration services. Through these inspections, we help identify potential mold issues that might otherwise go undetected. For example, we recently worked on a property where a large pipe burst caused significant damage to the flooring and walls. While performing the restoration, we used thermal imaging technology to inspect for hidden moisture and discovered mold and rot beneath the floorboards—damage that wasn’t related to the burst pipe, but rather the result of a slow leak from a pipe under the floor. This leak had been deteriorating the foundation for months or even years. Thanks to our thorough inspection, the homeowner was able to address this hidden mold issue before it became a bigger problem.
Many people don’t think to regularly inspect their properties for mold or water damage, but that’s where we come in. We can provide regular inspections and maintenance to keep your property safe from these hidden threats. If you're interested in having us inspect your property for potential mold issues, just give us a call, and we’ll take care of everything for you.
Handling Different Types of Water Damage
Every water damage situation is unique, and the type of water involved can influence how we handle the cleanup and restoration. Water damage can come from a variety of sources, and understanding the type of water involved is crucial for proper treatment. There are three main categories:
Clean Water: This typically comes from broken pipes or rainwater. It's the least hazardous and primarily requires fixing the leak and removing the excess water.
Gray Water: This is water that may come from washing machines, dishwashers, or sinks. While not as hazardous as black water, gray water can still cause issues, such as contamination or lingering odors, and requires careful cleaning.
Black Water: This is highly contaminated water, typically from sewage backups or floodwaters. It poses significant health risks and requires special care to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
