Fungi (Mold) Remediation
|

|
Fungus can be
broken down into many groups. A couple of common ones are as follows:
A few common types of fungus are macro fungi
which are of the larger size like mushrooms,
toadstools, bracts and puff balls. It's part of the Eco System. Fungi (macro or
micro) was created to decompose organic material like dead trees in the
forests, or leaves on the ground and various organic materials in
general.

Another type are the microscopic
fungi like molds,
mildews and rust. And unless viewed under a
microscope, they must be clumped together into
advanced colonies of mycelia for us to see them.
Health and scientific studies have found that
chemicals known as mycotoxins are emitted from
the hyphae and spores of some molds, causing
harmful health effects.

Aqua Restoration can properly remove
toxic molds and their spores from your structure and in your living and
working environments properly and the first time.
The public is becoming more aware of the serious human health threat
mold has. Molds can grow rapidly following a water loss, and one of our
goals at Aqua Restoration is to remove or clean contaminated building
materials in the home and working environments as well as personal
belongings that have been damaged, providing the structural integrity is
not compromised of the item in question.

Along with an
Environmental Consultant or a Certified
Industrial Hygienist, Aqua
Restoration can develop a
remediation plan detailing the protocol, scope,
time
and cost of remediation. Personal belongings that can
be cleaned and
restored are itemized along with the
method of cleaning and removed in a
manner that does
not cross-contaminate clean areas. Upon completion of
the
remediation project, clearance samples should be
taken to ensure
cleanliness. |
