Commercial Mold Remediation & Removal in Santa Cruz
Beside the damage to your business, farm, apartment building or any other type of commercial property, mold can pose a serious threat to your health by causing allergic reactions, asthma attacks, chronic sinus problems, poisoning by mycotoxins and fungal infections. Similar to bacteria in that it eats and digests the organic matter, mold reproduces by producing airborne spores that can travel quite some distance. To track and stop mold for good, our experts look in the attics, crawlspaces, basements, and behind walls, and use state-of-the-art mold removal equipment and EPA-registered products to clean surfaces and stop your exposure to mold. We employ a variety of types of equipment depending on your situation, including dehumidifiers, negative air machines, air scrubbers and air blowers.
Our Comprehensive Mold Remediation Process Includes
- Locating the mold and the water sources that feed mold, and assessing the damage caused by the mold.
- Isolating and containing the mold by using physical barriers and negative air pressure to prevent it from spreading.
