Mold Matters: Mold Removal and Restoration Yorba Linda

3/11/2014 (Permalink)

Recently SERVPO Brea/Yorba Linda had a concerned customer in the Yorba Linda area call about mold growing in their home due to unattended water damage.  Although other companies in Orange County may say they offer services to get rid of mold, SERVPRO conducts a thorough mold removal inspection in order to identify the growth of mold bacteria or house mites due to indoor dampness.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, and wheezing in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (an allergic reaction to mold) in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition. The IOM also speculated there may be a link between indoor mold exposure and respiratory illness in otherwise healthy children.

Mold can thrive in any environment but it is typically found in homes on wallpaper, windows, pipes, and anywhere in the home where there has been water damage. SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda has many years of experience and well-trained technicians to help eradicate any mold damage you might experience. We offer the following services to our customers:

• Mold Analysis: Thorough investigation of plumbing leaks and other water problems causing the increase of mold spores.

• Disinfection products: our advanced cleaning products stop the growth of harmful microorganisms, mold, fungi, mildew, and bacteria.

• Heating Assessment: our technicians also are mindful that maintaining a quality level of indoor humidity in your home (below 60 percent) is crucial to mold prevention, so we assess vents and air conditioning units.
