Any business or home can quickly become infested with mold due to the introduction of a water source, such as a roof or plumbing leak. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48-72 hours and can produce allergens and irritants that have the potential to cause other health effects such as:
Asthma
Allergies
Respiratory infections
Sinus infections
Skin rashes
When moisture is present, it becomes a breeding ground for fungal growth. “black mold” and other microorganisms are part of the natural environment. When they invade a contained environment their presence can contribute to sick building syndrome. When an outbreak of mold takes hold, it can cause tremendous damage to structures by penetrating deeply into walls and floors, creating not only a health hazard but also structural problems.
With its natural ability to travel through the air, the inhalation of mold spores can create a variety of respiratory ailments such as asthma, allergies, respiratory infections, sinus infections and skin rashes. In some extreme cases mold exposure can be fatal. Mold removal starts with our professional assessment of the extent of its penetration and its relative causes. We follow NYS laws and regulations. The contaminated materials are contained and removed in compliance with the environmental protection agency and New York City Department of Health Guidelines.
We work in conjunction with the certified industrial hygienist (CIH) during the entire remediation process to ensure that a certified clearance is succeeded. No job is complete until the underlying causes of moisture intrusion and residual moisture retention on the site are treated to prevent a recurrence. Some restoration businesses advertise “Mold Removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a misconception. A qualified restoration company understands the science behind mold and mold growth. G-star is equipped with the most advanced tools to detect the source of structural dampness.
We are licensed, extensively trained and experienced. Every job we perform, we guarantee your complete satisfaction with our work.
