Mold Remediation in Upstate New York
Taking care of a property means more than cleaning and regular upkeep. Business managers and owners need to look for signs of potential dangers as well, like the buildup of mold. If you suspect this health hazard is present in your space, you need to turn to the professionals for safe and effective mold remediation services. At Sun Environmental Corp., we have a dedicated team of professionals who know what to look for and what steps to take, allowing us to help customers throughout Upstate New York.
What Is Mold?
Mold is a fungus that can be found throughout nature. It can also form in homes and businesses. While it is necessary for decomposition in outdoor environments, it can cause serious health issues when it makes its way into our living or work areas. Mold is particularly dangerous because it can be released into the air, and its microscopic size can enter the body without the person knowing.
There are many different types of molds, with black mold and other toxic molds being some of the most dangerous. Mold exposure can lead to several health concerns, including:
- Sneezing
- Coughing or wheezing
- Rashes on the skin
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Red, burning eyes
- Asthma attacks
- Fever
- Shortness of breath
While anyone may experience these symptoms after extended exposure, children, older people, and those who are immunocompromised will see more severe reactions.
How Do Our Mold Remediation Services Work?
Mold grows in dark, damp environments and places where moisture can build up. It can enter facilities through open doors or windows or through an HVAC system. It may even be brought in on clothing. If left unaddressed, mold will continue to expand, causing a bigger problem that will be more hazardous and costly to take care of.
Fortunately, the experts at Sun Environmental Corp. can perform mold remediation. This process is intricate and needs to be done properly to keep everyone safe. While it is not possible to entirely eliminate mold from a property, mold remediation is designed to help reduce mold throughout the area. The service gets mold levels back to a natural state, helping to prevent health issues.
Our professionals will first examine the threat to best determine the course of action. Then, the area will be contained to help prevent the mold from reaching other areas of your facility. They will also ensure proper ventilation and use special equipment like air filtration devices (AFDs) to keep mold spores from escaping into the air. They will then clean and disinfect the affected area before using products like moldicide, fungicide, and biocide.
After the mold has been dealt with, our professionals at Sun Environmental Corp. will identify the source of the mold. If this isn’t discovered and addressed, the issue may come back. This will involve a thorough investigation and may include the need for repairs. For mold that cannot be removed, specialists will perform encapsulation. This procedure involves using paint or another sealant to cover the area and should only be carried out once the source has been fixed and the space is dry.
