York, PA’s Leading Mold Removal and Restoration Service
The key to mold control is moisture control. It is important to properly dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. Impact Disaster Services takes the necessary precautions to prevent mold growth after restoring water-damaged property.
Mold mitigation service
Molds gradually destroy the things they grow on, and left unchecked, mold can cause serious structural damage.
More importantly, in addition to property damage, the presence of mold poses serious health risks. Inhalation exposure to mold indoors can cause headaches, allergic reactions, asthma attacks, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and serious negative long-term health effects. Inhaling, ingesting, or even contacting the toxic byproducts of mold (mycotoxins) can lead to even graver health concerns. It is vitally important to contact an experienced professional when mold is discovered, and we fills that role.
Our experience, training, and state-of-the-art equipment allow us to remediate virtually any mold contamination.
What you can expect from a mold inspection
Trained & Certified
Our inspectors are trained and certified to perform a professional mold inspection that meets the highest standards of practice that have been established by the Environmental Assessment Association (EAA).
What We Do
A mold inspection consists of a visual examination of the structure’s environmental condition. We will evaluate existing mold damage in the building and thoroughly investigate conditions that may be causing mold to grow.
Detailed and Expansive
Our technician will search behind and underneath materials (carpet and pad, wallpaper, vinyl flooring, sink cabinets), furniture, pictures, and stored items, especially items placed near outside walls or on cold floors.
Important things to know
Sometimes it is necessary to open a wall cavity to inspect and clean enclosed spaces where mold and moisture are hidden. We will check around air handling units (air conditioners, furnaces) for stagnant water. These units require regular service and cleaning of ducts and air filters.
We will also carefully search areas with noticeable mold odors. Mildew has been described as pungent or aromatic. If you can see mold, or if you smell an earthy or musty odor, you can assume you have a mold problem.
Get a clear answer
Clear answers are provided regarding the type of mold, whether toxic or not. You will be provided with written recommendations based on our thorough inspection and extensive evaluation of your specific situation.
The mold inspection can help provide valuable information about any investment you are considering and will help you make an informed pre-purchase decision. It is better to find the mold “sooner than later” in order to obtain the information needed to help protect against costly repairs that can escalate when nothing is done.
We recommend you be present at the time of the inspection. inspectors will educate the home or building owner or potential buyer of the property’s condition and let you also observe any areas where mold is discovered.
During the course of the inspection, the inspector will explain the condition of the property. After the inspection is performed, collected samples will promptly be sent to a microbiology laboratory for analysis.
Normal turnaround time for lab results is 2 to 3 days.
