Mold is a microscopic organism that grows from spores. They are usually inactive indoors and don't present health problems. Certain types of molds are capable of producing a class of compounds called mycotoxins. Identifying indoor mold is important because it is a common cause of asthma and or allergic reaction with sensitized people, such as those with serious allergies to molds, may have more severe reactions such as memory loss or severe lung problems. Mold growth is virtually inevitable if a moisture problem is not controlled. If you think you have a mold problem, hire one of our expert mold inspection subcontractors to determine the extent of any contamination. In addition to discovering the type and extent of a mold problem, a professional mold inspector will look for the source of your moisture intrusion. Moisture problems need to be identified and corrected as soon as possible because mold can start to grow within 24 to 48 hours after a moisture intrusion.
Carter Construction is a certified mold remediation construction company and we have completed over 100 mold remediation jobs since starting in this micro trade in January 2011. Mold Remediation is the process of isolating, removing and or cleaning materials that have microbial contamination. We have our own remediating equipment to do the job ourselves or we can use our qualified mold subcontractors. We also have the knowledge of 47 years’ experience in home construction and remodeling. With the skills to remove mold in most any situations. After the remediation is complete we will hire a third party to come in and inspect our work and take the necessary air samples, then the samples are sent to a lab for testing. The testing company will then draw a report from the lab results, stating if the remediation has been effective and the project has resumed normal condition. After normal conditions exist and the moisture intrusion has been repaired, then the repairs to the project can start.
Carter Construction can also test for mold before and/or after remediation, we have a certified mold inspector on staff and all of the testing equipment. So if you need mold sampling done or an mold inspection please contact us.
