Bio Clean of Utah Performs Layton Utah Mold Inspection

Bio Clean of Utah, based in Centerville, Utah, has announced that they had recently completed a mold inspection job in a Layton Utah home. They detected the presence of mold in the attic and this was due to some ice damming and high humidity with no ventilation. These conditions in the attic resulted in mold growth and the estimated cost of repair is $2,400.

Daryl Olsen, president of Bio Clean of Utah, says, “Homes in Layton Utah can depend on our mold testing and removal services. We have served the Wasatch Front for over 20 years with technicians that are trained and experienced in all kinds of mold testing and removal and are willing to show you just how reliable our services can be. Mold removal is very important in Layton Utah, as mold can be found in just about every place you find. It is equally important, however, to understand and identify which molds are harmful to you and which ones are not only not harmful, but in a lot of cases necessary for nature.”

The staff at Bio Clean of Utah are ready to help identify the molds found in the home that need to be removed. They will not just test for these molds specifically, but they will also provide mold removal and damage remediation if required.

They want to remind people in Layton Utah that mold spores a very small and lightweight and can be easily detached because of vacuuming, airflow, walking on the carpet, or sitting on a couch. Mold spores are capable of growing indoors, especially in hardwoods, carpets, walls, and any porous materials. Mold is able to produce and release millions of spores into the air and they can remain airborne for a certain period of time. When they are airborne, they can be breathed in and possibly invade the human respiratory system, possibly causing health problems, particularly for those who have allergies.

Indoor mold spores can reproduce and grow fast in dark and humid places, getting their food from natural items like wood, paper, and other similar items. Mold removal can be difficult when these dark and humid places are hard to access, such as inside floors and walls, and crawl spaces.

Indoor mold growth is always regarded as potentially unhealthy. There are two primary risks that are related to mold exposure. One is the possibility of fungal infection. The people who are most at risk are the elderly, infants, toddlers, and those who have weak respiratory systems or immune systems. Some fungal infections may be serious enough to leave permanent scar tissue in the lungs and sinuses that may have to be surgically removed. The second risk is chemical exposure. Some of the chemicals released by molds are carcinogens and poisons.

The mold removal service to be provided by Bio Clean of Utah is done with containment, under negative pressure provided by HEPA-filtered air scrubbers. All of the affected materials will need to be bagged and disposed of properly. Structural materials such as the framing and subfloor will need to be HEPA-vacuumed, sanded, and then HEPA-vacuumed again. All of the surfaces within the containment will have to be HEPA-vacuumed and cleaned before removing the containment. The workers from Bio Clean of Utah will always wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including HEPA-filtered respirators. They will also perform quantitative air sampling before and after the mold removal to help verify if the mold has been successfully eliminated.

Bio Clean of Utah also offers other kinds of services for homes in Utah aside from mold testing and removal. These include blood and crime scene cleanup; fire and smoke damage cleanup; and air duct cleaning.
