Dangers of Toxic Mold to Humans

Where mold remediation is concerned, delaying only makes the problem worse and the solution more expensive. The most toxic type of mold, black mold, contains the most mycotoxins of any type of mold. These microscopic mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by molds & fungi found in foods that include cereals, nuts, spices, dried fruits, apples, and coffee beans under warm and humid conditions.

These mycotoxins can create an unhealthy environment because of toxins emitted from the micro-organisms. When these toxins are inhaled for an extended period, the victim can become very ill. Common symptoms include skin irritation, dizziness, confusion, shortness of breath, and damage to vision. The symptoms are treatable if exposure is not prolonged. Because of its toxicity, black mold remediation is legally required in business establishments.

A black mold is greenish-black to gray and has a smell that may resemble mildew and will permeate the air of the afflicted area. It might be caused by broken water pipes, heavy rains, flooding, and even fire suppression efforts. When organic material like the structural wood of a building gets wet, this creates an environment where the microscopic mold spores can settle and thrive. 

The Mold Remediation Process by Ready Flood Restoration

• Testing for mold – An Industrial Hygienist (IH) conducts an air test to verify if mold exists. Many remediation services conduct their own test when hired by a third-party IH to remediate the mold.
• Finding the hidden mold – We use moisture sensing equipment to find the “breeding ground” of the mold colony. Such places can be hidden for extended periods under floors, inside walls, or in the attic.
• Cleaning and Sanitizing – Drywall and wood components are removed to expose the infested areas, which are then scrubbed with powerful antimicrobials and sanitizers.
• Drying and Restoring – Affected areas are dried before replacing any of the damaged components with fresh materials. Powerful fans and dehumidifiers are brought in to ensure that no pockets of moisture are left behind.
• Checking contents – The contents of the premises are checked for signs of mold. Any salvageable items are cleaned and restored for normal use. Any unsalvageable items are disposed of with the debris.

Post Remediation Verification that Mold is Gone

When everything else is finished, a post-remediation verification (PRV) air test should be taken (like the one conducted at the beginning) to ensure a safe, healthy, and mold-free environment. Testing is highly advisable because it may protect a business owner from any litigious actions that may arise later. There have been cases in which property owners were found to be responsible for physical ailments stemming from the presence of black mold.

The property owner may opt to hire a licensed third party to conduct the test, someone who has no vested interest in the outcome. The PRV test (also called a clearance test) shows that the mold remediation has been cleared at least to a prescribed healthful level. Generally, the test should indicate that mold levels inside the premises are approximately equal to the outside air.

Ready Flood Restoration has been conducting mold remediation in homes and businesses since 2001 and will handle all aspects of the procedure. In emergency situations, our certified remediation technicians will be on-site in 60 minutes or less.
