Water damage cleanup/removal and disinfection
-
Dry out the structure and contents
-
Monitor the drying progress
Water Extraction and Mitigation
The first goal is to determine the contamination level of the water or liquid present. Depending on where the water originates from, the pollution level can vary. A category one pollution level is usually pure water from a natural or clean source that hasn’t been standing for long. Category two water usually involves an extended stand time along with other elements such as sewage or toxins.
A category three is extremely dirty water, and involves sewage and other toxins. The longer the water stands, the worse it typically gets. Our goal at Oahu Environmental Water Restoration Company by KR Services, LLC is to get to water damage as soon as possible, so we can remove the liquid and dry out the space or property. We ensure that our water damage restoration services are quick, effective, and efficient.
Water Damage Cleanup and Remediation
It’s important that all affected material be removed and disposed of. In some cases—depending on the water purity—you may be able to salvage some of the materials or your belongings. In a high majority of cases, the materials need to be disposed of to keep mold from spreading.
If you don’t call Hawaii Abatement Services - an Oahu Environment Asbestos Removal and Remediation Company in Honolulu, you may need to utilize our mold cleanup services. Our gutting of the water-damaged materials and space allows for a more effective cleaning and disinfection of the area.
Dry Out the Space and Contents
Mold requires moisture to develop and spread. It’s imperative to dry the space or area before restoring new material like carpet or drywall so mold doesn’t gain a foothold and cause more damage or health problems later. If your property is infested with molds and you are considering mold remediation services, we've got you covered!
At Oahu Asbestos Abatement Removal and Remediation Company in Honolulu, we also offer mold remediation services and always ensure our clients that we do a thorough job on this matter because the cost of removing mold from a restored home or business is much greater than one that’s in the process of being restored.
Water Restoration & Mold Remediation
If you have recently experienced water damage due to a roof leak, leaky pipe, fire extinguisher, or an unexpected event, their could be a risk and possibility for mold growth in your Honolulu home. However, it’s worth noting that there are different types of mold out there.
MOLDS COME IN VARIOUS COLORS RANGING FROM THE TYPICAL WHITE, BROWN, AND BLACK TO HUES OF YELLOW, ORANGE, GREEN, AND PINK.
Additionally, the rate at which molds spread and how they affect your property also differ depending on the type. While a professional mold removal company should be able to address whatever contamination you may have in your home, there’s no harm in educating yourself.
To help you get started, here are some of the most common types of mold in homes after water damage.
STACHYBOTRYS CHARTARUM
Commonly known as “black mold” or “toxic mold,” this type of mold can grow in any room in a water-damaged house. It appears pitch black and is typically slimy to the touch.
Unfortunately, mold can spread quickly once it lands on a damp spot in your basement, attic, bathroom, kitchen, or any other area. What’s worse is that the Stachybotrys chartarum is also known to produce toxins that can cause a range of health problems, from allergic reactions to severe respiratory problems.
CLADOSPORIUM
This variety of mold thrives in both warm and cold temperatures and is often found in the following areas after a water damage event such as basement, attic, on sinks, bathtubs, and around faucets, and even on damp curtains and furniture.
Starting as little black dots scattered over the contaminated area, the Cladosporium typically forms large green patches as it grows. When left unchecked, prolonged exposure to this type of mold can not only irritate the skin and respiratory system but also cause serious health issues.
ASPERGILLUS
Aspergillus is another common type of mold in homes affected by water. It often appears as powder-like white or black spots, but it also has yellow specks that make it easy to distinguish. Not all molds in this variety are harmful; some people can inhale their spores without experiencing any symptoms.
However, people with asthma or existing respiratory conditions may have itchy eyes, runny nose, and rashes after exposure. Ingesting aspergillus can also cause severe allergic reactions and, in the rare cases, an infection called Aspergillosis.
ALTERNARIA
This type of mold usually thrives outdoors, but it can easily enter homes through open doors and windows. Once inside, it can quickly grow in damp basements and attics and humid bathrooms and kitchens, appearing in black or green fuzzy spots and giving off a musty smell.
If inhaled, Alternaria can cause serious symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, and wheezing.
ACREMONIUM
Acremonium is a slow-growing type typically appearing as a white or gray powdery substance. Besides its striking features, this type also gives off a noticeable unpleasant odor.
What’s tricky about locating Acremonium is that it often grows inside water-affected drywall and insulation, making it challenging to address early on. Acremonium exposure can unfortunately cause nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting, so prompt mold removal is crucial.
CHAETOMIUM
This is another type of mold that can grow on water-damaged wood, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, and ceiling tiles. Chaetomium often begins as white or gray fuzzy growths until they turn bluish-green as they grow. Like other types of mold, this variety can easily cause severe allergic reactions and respiratory issues in people with weakened immune systems.
In rare cases, it has also been associated with liver damage, cancer, and fatal brain infections.
