Got Mold?
Molds are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such
as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided.
as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided.
Extreme caution must be taken when dealing with any kind of mold
contamination. Removal of mold contaminated materials can lead to
a massive release of spores especially if there is mold growing on the
underside of the paper. If you believe that you may have a hidden or
extensive mold problem, consider hiring an experienced professional,
like Water Works Restoration, Inc.
Molds have the potential to cause health problems. Molds produce
mycotoxins which are potentially toxic substances that produce
allergic responses in some people. These responses are triggered when
people inhale or touch mold or mold spores. Some common allergic
responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny
nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis). Extreme reactions to mold
may be sustained by those who suffer from asthma, weakened immune
systems or from being over exposed to mycotoxins. Young children and
the elderly are most susceptible to negative health effects of
exposure to mold. Remember, even dead mold may cause allergic
reactions in some people, so it is not enough to simply kill the mold, it
must also be removed.

Mold Remediation
Analysis:
The first step to proper mold remediation is to thoroughly analyze the type and
extent of the problem.
• A visual inspection of the affected area will be conducted to discover the
extent of the mold problem and document the type of mold-damaged materials.
• The use of specialized equipment may be necessary to inspect and take air
samples in ductwork or within walls or to detect moisture in building material.
• Surface and/or bulk sampling may need to be collected to identify specific
fungal contaminants and to establish the appropriate remediation protocol.
• If an active leak is present, the original source of the water damage must be
located and stopped in order to proceed with the remediation process.

Containment
The purpose of containment during remediation activities is to limit the release of mold into the air and surroundings in order to
minimize the continued exposure of remediation technicians, building occupants, and contents to mold spores.
Removal
Successful mold remediation requires total mold removal from the indoor environment. This may require the entire removal of
the contaminated materials. In most cases the use of specialized professional equipment will be required to remove and safely
contain the contamination without causing further contamination to the indoor environment.
Restoration
The work area and areas used by the remediation technicians for egress must also be decontaminated. It is advisable that all
areas remediated be cleared for reconstruction by an independent industrial hygienist.
While mold contamination can become a serious problem for homeowners, insurance companies, commercial building owners
and public institutions like hospitals, universities, and libraries, the best answer to the problem is prevention. When you
experience any form of water damage be sure to utilize the 24 hour services of Water Works Restoration, Inc., as your
restoration contractor so we can contain the problem and reduce your costs.
If you already have a mold problem contact Water Works Restoration, Inc. immediately to begin the safe investigation and
remediation process so that your damages, health dangers, and liabilities do not continue to grow.

Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to
the naked eye and continually float through outdoor and indoor air.
Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on a food
source that is wet or damp. There are many types of mold, most
grow at different rates but none of them will grow without moisture
and food.
In general, mold needs an environment that is dark, moist, good
food source and little or no air movement. Take away any of those
ingredients and mold growth stops. There is no practical way to
eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment,
however, moisture control is key to mold control.
If you discover a damp area it is important to dry the water
damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold
growth. If mold is a problem in your home, clean up the mold and
get rid of the excess water or moisture. Fix leaky plumbing or other
sources of water. Wash mold off hard surfaces with detergent and
water, and dry completely. Absorbent materials (such as ceiling
tiles, plywood or particle board & carpet) that become moldy may
have to be replaced.
If a building smells musty you may have hidden mold. Though you
may not see the odor source; further investigation must take place
if you suspect there has been water damage and residents are
reporting health problems. Mold may be hidden in places such as
the back side of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top side of
ceiling tiles, the underside of carpets and pads, etc. Other possible
locations of hidden mold include areas inside walls around pipes
(with leaking or condensing pipes), the surface of walls behind
furniture (where condensation forms), inside ductwork, and in roof
materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient
insulation).

Keep those most likely to be effected by mold away from the contaminated area until the mold is removed from the surfaces as
well as the air.
