MOLD is part of the natural environment in Houston and plays a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees. Theyreproduce by means of tiny spores that float through the air outdoors, and indoors. When spores land on a wet surface indoors they begin to grow. Its imperative that moldy air ducts be cleaned under negative pressure to prevent the spread of mold spores.Without mold removal, the growth indoors canproduce allergens, irritants, and potentially toxic substances. Outdoors these irritants are so diluted that they dont cause any problems except for the most hyper allergenic individuals. But in the confined spaces of the indoor environment, such as mold growth in air ducts, can reach higher concentrations and have the potential to cause health problems. Inhaling or touching mold spores may cause allergic reactions. Allergic reactions are common and include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash. Mold can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. Research on the health effects are ongoing and those listed above are not all the potential health effects of exposure to indoor mold damage. Mold can hide very well as you may not immediately realize when there is mold in HVAC ducts until you start feeling symptoms, so its crucial that you get mold cleanup done as soon as possible.

Houstonmold cleanup and removal typically consist of Containment, Cleaning and/or Removal of Mold contaminated materials, aHouston Mold inspection and Mold Clearance Testing.

After theHouston Mold Testing and Mold Inspections are done, we can begin the cleanup process. The Containment usually consists of a light wood frame with plastic sheeting stretched over with a slit entry for the workers with a covering flap on the outside. For small areas, for example, if one long wall was effected, the framework with the plastic sheeting would be open on the side of the mold infected wall and would be fastened to the wall and ceiling with duct tape. Inside the containment area, all openings such as air vents and doors must be sealed with plastic to prevent spreading contaminants to other parts of the building.

A negative air machine with HEPA filtration is attached to an opening in the containment drawing air from the affected area, filtering it, and venting it outside the building. The negative air pressure that this maintains prevents any of the mold spores and other contaminants from escaping and affecting other parts of the building while the cleanup in progress. Once secure attainment is achieved, the mold cleanup can begin.

Porous materials such as drywall, carpets, and upholstery are typically vacuumed and discarded. Wood surfaces are usually wet vacuumed, damp wiped, and HEPAvacuumed. Depending on the extent of mold contamination, wood surfaces might also be removed and discarded. Air duct mold inspections inHouston TX is treated especially carefully as it can push spores into different rooms. Non-porous hard surfaces such as plastics or metals can usually be wet vacuumed, damp wiped, and HEPAvacuumed. After all of the contaminatedmaterials are cleaned and/or removed, and the entire contained area has been cleaned, themold cleanup companysinspection can take place. For Houston mold inspections, the clearance must be done by a Mold Assessment Consultant licensed by the state of Texas, never by the mold remediation company that is actually doing the cleanup. This independent third party ensures that there is no conflict of interest and that the area is thoroughly tested and is safe to reoccupy.

DONT place fans on thedamaged area. When you blow air onto mold it will disperse tiny harmful spores into the air, quickly and negatively affecting the air quality.

DONT try to kill it. Dead spores are just as harmful as living spores.

DONT spray itwith bleach and other household chemicals. Its futile and may actually stimulate more growth.

DONT paint or varnish over the damageand assume its eliminated. There is still a reservoir of potentially damaging spores inside the structure, and paint will quickly peel to reveal the damage again.

DONT think that itwont hurt you. Black mold or toxic mold is an airborne pathogen and can adversely affect your health, no matter how healthy you are otherwise.

DO wear personal protection that includes a respirator with P100 HEPAfiltration cartridges, gloves, and a hazmat suit. Mold damage companies are prepared and equipped with these safety precautions.
