There are various reasons that could have brought you to look up mold remediation contractors regardless of exactly what reason brought you here, one thing is for sure, something has you nervous that mold may be a problem in your home or business.

Certain indicators or common problems bring people to us on a consistent basis asking for expertise. One symptom that many people notice when having a mold problem is a musty odor or a strange smell; obvious signs of mold growth, or moisture damage and intrusions. Some people start to worry about their indoor air quality after being sick for some time or experiencing on-going health issues; usually respiratory problems. Another reason why people come to us is they are acquiring or leasing real estate and want to make sure they are not taking over someone else’s headaches. Visible growth on clothing, furniture, and/or building material is another reason why customers choose to hire. Last but most definitely not least, is when people are simply looking for peace of mind.

Mold and mold spores are naturally occurring in our environment, they serve an important purpose in our ecology; and due to that the elimination of mold and their spores are impossible. Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye; they are everywhere; we just don’t see them. Mold spores are not a problem until either there is a high amount of spores or they are germinated. Mold spores lay dormant until moisture is introduced, then due to intrusion, high humidity or condensation; it is at this point that they are germinated; and that is when the problem begins.

Some of the health risks to mold are:

Allergenic – causing allergic Reactions – rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, skin problems.

Non-Tinea (ringworm) -skin rashes on exposure to high levels of mechanically disturbed molds, almost always during an amateur mold clean-up job, often apparently associated with Stachybotrys chartarum, and most immediately contacted on exposed (sometimes sweaty or moist) skin areas (neck, face, head, hands, arms) that were not protected during their mold cleanup project.

Pathogenic – Produces Infections, caused by pathogens such as bacteria or viruses

Mold Smell related Illnesses – headaches, vomiting, nausea, blocked noses, and asthmatic [MVOC’s–DF]

Toxic Illnesses – where mold is involved, may be produced by mycotoxins that are produced by some, not all, mold species. Note that even for a “toxic” mold species, the actual level of toxicity can vary significantly depending on growing conditions such as the growth substrate (what the mold is feeding-on), humidity, moisture, and other factors.

Respiratory Illnesses – asthma, COPD, etc.

Digestive Tract Illnesses – liver diseases: fibrosis and necrosis; vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal bleeding

Reproductive Illnesses – infertility, variations in reproductive and hormonal cycle

Highly Serious Illnesses – Cancer, Tuberculosis, Lupus, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Chronic Fatigue Disorder (CFS), Fibromyalgia, Epstein-Barr, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, legionnaires disease aspergillosis.

Even in cases where water damage is taken care of quickly, mold contamination might still be a problem. When water, storms, or sewage have been involved in your disaster, mold remediation is a crucial aspect of the restoration package that we offer. 

If toxic mold removal or mold remediation is not performed during the restoration process, mold growth can still take root because invisible mold spores may still be present. Choosing a certified mold specialist like Dynamic Remediation Solutions Inc. that does both restoration and remediation at the same time is key to avoiding the illnesses and other problems that mold can bring.

At Dynamic Remediation Solutions Inc., we can provide mold remediation services as part of our treatment for water damage. We have certified mold specialists with the proper certifications to prevent and neutralize mold growth before it becomes a full-blown problem. 

When you work with us on your initial water damage restoration, you’ll save yourself the hassle of having to call a separate mold removal company down the road. For more details on our mold and mildew removal services, contact us now!
