MOLD: UNDERSTANDING THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY

Mold has the potential to cause health problems. Mold produces allergens (substances that cause allergic reactions), irritants and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins).

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency states, “Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold allergic and non-allergic people.” These issues have led to expensive and time-consuming litigation.

THE PROBLEM: In addition to the health issues, the presence of mold can lead to loss of productivity, absenteeism and increased insurance premiums. The financial drain will continue, as the presence of mold can cause severe damage to structures and reduce their value. Each year, millions of dollars are spent repairing the damage caused by mold intrusion.

THE SOLUTION: When the presence of mold is causing a health hazard, damaging property or holding up the sale of a building, you need to call a professional mold remediation company as soon as possible. Duraclean has been solving environmental problems since 1930. Duraclean professionals are trained in all aspects of remediation including working in confined spaces.

DURACLEAN, THE ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST: If a mold problem is suspected at your facility or residence, call Duraclean at once. We can provide meaningful consultation and, if necessary, recommend a reputable hygienist to inspect and test the area in question.

Once a remediation plan is agreed upon, our trained professionals will discretely secure the affected area and provide the necessary service to reduce the contaminated area to safe levels within the structure. Only safe, proven mold remediation techniques are used to “Get the Mold Out!”

Before beginning, Duraclean will secure the area with a containment chamber to guard against additional contamination. After the area is protected, removal could be as simple as hand sanding or as complex as media blasting. Media blasting combines the power of compressed air with the safety and absorbency of baking soda, removing the mold from the structure. Whatever the procedure, the air within the contained area will be consistently exchanged and cleansed through air scrubbing machines utilizing triple HEPA filtration. Duraclean’s continuing education program ensures that technicians are trained in all aspects of mold remediation and that they always utilize the latest procedures as prescribed by the EPA, NYDOH, or IIRC.

Duraclean technicians are bonded, insured and carry photo identification for your security. Duraclean is the company of choice for doctors, allergists, industrial hygienists, insurance companies and real estate firms throughout the United States and Canada.
