Mold Remediation In Walpack New Jersey

 

Systematic Cleaning and Restoration Corporation provides Mold restoration services to  Walpack Township in Northern New Jersey. We follow the principle set forth by the IICRC.

The IICRC outlines five major principles of mold remediation.

1. Make sure safety and health precautions are taken by cleanup professionals and occupants. Mold-contaminated buildings can be associated with a number of health problems. Anyone involved in the mold remediation process must be protected from exposure through a combination of practices and controls.
2. A post-cleanup assessment by an independent environmental expert. An effective mold remediation cannot be developed without first determining the extent of the contamination to be removed. To ensure that remediation work is being properly performed, it is highly recommended that appropriate documentation of the remediation process be kept by project management
3. Control of mold before it spreads further. Eliminating mold at the source of contamination is essential. Once mold spores spread through the air, it will be much more difficult to capture.
4. Oversee the proper physical removal of the mold. The mold must be physically removed from the structure. Attempts to isolate mold or remove signs of mold on the surface are not adequate. Note that bleach alone cannot kill mold.
5. Ensure that moisture is controlled to limit future contamination or re-contamination. Mold growth is virtually inevitable if moisture is not controlled. Moisture problems must be identified, located and corrected or controlled as soon as possible.

The ANCI/IICRC S520 Is this standard for the removal of mold from homes and businesses that are been contaminated by this organism. It is written for those that are involved in the remediation and restoration and is designed for real life challenges when it comes to improving the indoor environmental air quality and living space of those affected. It is put together by workers, scientists, indoor environmental professionals, industrial hygienists, trade associations and others and provides the best management practices for handling micro-bacterial contamination. These standards are designed to protect the homeowner from not only the health effects of mold but are also designed to ensure that the homeowner or business owner gets the project done properly and safely. We follow the I ICRC standards and are certified in their use. This means that the areas that we provide mold remediation to our typically put under negative pressure and maintained under negative pressure throughout the removal process. In addition if the situation is deemed necessary we will call in an IEP or an indoor environmental professional that will write you a spec independent of our work. They work directly for you and will not only devise a plan but will also check to make sure that the plan was followed and that everything was done according to the specification. It is not recommended that you use a company that writes their own plan and then is responsible for implementation and follow-up inspection. In minor cases this may not be necessary but in cases where mold contamination is widespread this is certainly the recommended practice.

In the town of Walpack New Jersey we find that moisture conditions are right for mold growth. We can help you repair these issues. Another benefit of using our company for your mold remediation services is that being IICRC Certified means that if there is an issue with any of the work that we provide to you you have an independent body that will examine the complaint and make sure if anything was not done to code that it is remedied at no further cost.

Systematic Cleaning and Restoration Corp is IICRC certified, fully insured and properly trained in the latest and best methods of removing mold from basements, attics, homes and businesses.

To provide correct mold removal requires a certain set of tools as well as proper training to make sure the job is done correctly. It is always prudent to hire a company that is IICRC certified in mold remediation. In most cases containment has to be set up which creates a negative pressure around the areas of mold growth so that mold spores and mycotoxins do not escape into the general environment. The proper health and safety protocols have to be followed. Respirators must always be worn as well as eye protection and full suit to protect you from  mold gaining entrance into your body.

There are some molds out there that actually grow the fastest at temperatures of 98.6° That number may look familiar to you because that is the temperature of a healthy human being. So with some mold organisms our body is the perfect petri dish.

Mold exposure can cause a wide variety of health effects.It is a fact that certain types can even cause death. In most cases if there is mold that is present and or growing an indoor environmental professional should be called in to test the home and find out where the mold is locatedated so that he or she can create a plan that will eliminate mold from your home as well as provide a plan of action and endpoint determination. This way once the mold removal professional has completed their work the conditions can be checked within the home to make sure that it is in balance with the exterior environment.

Well before we can discuss mold remediation we need to speak about mold assessment.

So what is mold assessment anyway?

Mold assessment is the process of collecting information about where the mold might be in your home or  office. Experts generally come in an look over the structure and determine where the mold is hiding. This is generally done by laboratory testing as well as the use of specialized equipment.Sometimes the mold is obviously and sometimes it’s not. Sometimes you have to dig deep within a structure in order to find the problem. This is where an indoor environmental professional come into play. They will do the testing and then formulate the clean-up process. There is a written specification for mold removal along with followup testing and mold count parameters.  Once the testing and spec is done then the  mold remediation starts. The removing of the mold is necessary and beneficial for many reasons.

Health Effects

You may not think that mold and mold spores actually are a hazard to your health but they are in a big way.  Mold spores are very common within homes and office areas as well as outside our homes or offices. The comparison of interior mold counts to exterior mold counts sets up a parameter of what is called the normal mold count. This measures types and amounts of molds both inside and outside.What can happen if there is sufficient moisture and growing mediums these spore build up. Mold can cause an allergic reaction for many people.  It’s not just the allergies that you need to watch out for, these molds can hinder your health from a respiratory and physical standpoint in some cases even causing brain damage and death! And once it gets into your body it may cause all sorts of problems.

 

There are three things that mold needs in order to grow.

  1. Time–anywhere from 48 hours to 10 days
  2. Moisture–This is what is needed to begin the process which brings about the mold through presence of spores
  3. Nutrients–Cellulose is a common ingredient in the mold build up process-think sheetrock, cloth, wallpaper etc.

Mold removal is paramount to the health and safety of yourself and your loved ones. It is not something to take lightly. There can be VERY serious health consequences from a mold infestation.
