We provide emergency disaster recovery and property restoration services to the insurance industry, property, and business owners.
This means we are usually on site after significant damage to commercial or residential property from floods or fires, water damage, sewage backup and other major events. We will work on your behalf to stop further damage, contain and record the recent damage, and determine course of action for clean-up taking potential hazards into account such as: asbestos, electrical, mould, bacteria, lead, etc.
We can inventory, catalog, and decontaminate personal belongings and store these materials.
We provide detailed water damage inspections resulting from floods, leaks and sewer backups. Our procedures will help clients find and eliminate any sources of moisture, which is the key ingredient in microbial growth. During the inspection we may recommend that air/surface sampling is performed depending on visual cues like standing water and visible mould – all of these factors contribute to the mould removal plan.
In cases of sewer backup we may arrange sampling for airborne mould and bacteria. Our report and remediation quote will make recommendations on required steps to make the area a healthy and safe environment.
We offer professional mould removal services. Our first priority is to identify the cause and provide you with a range of options to correct the issue and prevent future damage. If we need to disturb or repair materials in your home or business in order to conduct the mould removal and remediation work we are required to identify any asbestos or lead containing materials and conduct services to remove asbestos prior to removing or repairing the area in question.
In our moist coastal conditions, mould remediation in buildings and homes can be complex since you often cannot always see the full extent of a mould problem. Mould is often not visible, and may contaminate the air after removal of the water damaged material begins. Mould removal processes should prevent cross contamination, keep building occupants safe and of course remove the source of the problem to prevent mould from returning. The process of cleaning mould stirs up spores that can potentially contaminate other areas of a building and create an indoor air quality (IAQ) problem.
Hazards in and around flood-damaged buildings include the risks of:
There are 3 primary ways to sample for mould, surface, bulk and air sampling:
Involve swabbing the contaminated area or using a tape lift to collect the sample.
Collect a quantity of mould usually attached to building materials
This is the most complex and can be performed at the start of a project to determine if harmful moulds like stachybotrys chartarum are airborne. It can also be done at the end of a remediation project for final clearance purposes to give our clients peace of mind.
