Customer Since 2003

We called KIWI for an emergency water cleanup. They were amazing! They came right out as fast as possible and went right to work getting the water out and drying everything up. Rebecca was so efficient and kept us updated on every step. She also followed up on the phone, making sure I was satisfied and asking how I was doing. They were so caring, as I was in a state of panic. John came out and did a wonderful job. John and his helper even helped us carry out some of the furniture. From start to finish, they were terrific to work with, and I would recommend kiwi services to anyone.

Removing mold before it spreads

In recent years the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have issued updated guidelines related to mold removal in response to hurricane related water damage in places like New Orleans. The recent flood damage taking place in Galveston and elsewhere also demonstrate the need to understand mold removal even in typically non-flood prone areas. Here is what you need to know about mold abatement, clean-up and potential health risks.

Mold and Mildew Basics

Molds, mildews, mushrooms and yeasts comprise a group of living organisms known as “fungi”. Fungi of all types are distinct from both plants and animals yet have similar characteristics of both. For example, fungi have cell walls like plants but cannot produce their own nutrients. Molds and mildew both reproduce by spores which require moisture and nutrient to grow; unfortunately, as far too many homeowners are aware, the conditions of many homes right after water damage provides the perfect environment for molds to begin rapidly growing; a warm humid environment with wood, wallboard, upholstery and other “nutritional” sources. Research has found that mold begins growing on some materials – like plywood – in just 48 to 72 hours.

Health Impact

Not every mold is harmful to human health and in fact, some are used as the basis for medications while other molds are known to release toxins that can harm humans. The higher the concentration the worse the problem although some sensitive individuals may respond severely to even fairly small amounts of molds, mold toxins or even by-products of molds.
Common health problems related to molds include allergies, respiratory problems including Asthma, headaches, skin rashes, headaches, flu-like symptoms and even complex systematic illness. Persons suffering from other conditions like HIV/AIDS, cancer or other auto-immune problems may also be at increased risk of health related issues as are the elderly and infants.
Because mold, mold spores and mold toxins can be via skin contact, inhalation or ingestion; many people may not even realize they were exposed to mold or mold spores by coming into contact with airborne concentrations of mold from old buildings, air vents or even used furniture.

Mold Abatement

Mold Removal Services The first step in mold removal is to take proper steps to reduce the risk of illness or injury to ones self or others. The CDC encourages protective gear including eye, respiratory mask and other barriers. Mold removal will then depend upon the length of time, items impacted and severity. In all cases, contaminated items of an absorbent nature (upholstery, drywall, wood, etc) will need to be professionally evaluated to determine if they can be salved or must be replaced. Likewise, mold clean-up usually includes air conditioning systems, water extraction, humidity control and proper disposal of all waste in addition to the actual repair of damaged walls, flooring and furniture. It is typically advisable to go with a full service company like KIWI Services that provides all required work with just one call with the added benefit of being certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the long-term effects of not removing mold promptly?

If mold is not removed promptly, it can lead to severe structural damage to your property as it weakens walls, floors, and ceilings. Additionally, prolonged mold exposure can cause chronic health issues such as persistent respiratory problems, skin irritation, and severe allergic reactions. The longer mold is allowed to grow, the more difficult and expensive it becomes to remove.

Can mold grow in areas that are not directly affected by water damage?

Yes, mold can grow in areas not directly affected by water damage. Mold spores are airborne and can settle in various parts of your home, thriving in areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Regularly monitoring and controlling humidity levels in your home can help prevent mold growth in these areas.

How can I prevent mold growth after water damage?

Acting quickly by thoroughly drying all affected areas within 24 to 48 hours is crucial. Dehumidifiers and fans reduce moisture levels and ensure proper ventilation in the affected areas. Regularly inspect your home for any signs of moisture or leaks, and address any issues immediately to prevent mold from taking hold.

What should I do if I suspect mold in my HVAC system?

If you suspect mold in your HVAC system, it’s important to have it inspected and cleaned by professionals immediately. Mold in your HVAC system can spread spores throughout your home, affecting indoor air quality and potentially causing health issues. Professional mold removal services can clean and treat your HVAC system to eliminate mold and prevent future growth.
