Utah Disaster Specialists Reports on Woods Cross Utah Mold Removal Project

Utah Disaster Specialists, a company based in Centerville, Utah, has reported on an ongoing mold remediation project for a property in Woods Cross, Utah. The property is a new condo but defects in the construction of the roof and rain gutter resulted in the wide spread presence of mold. Mold was found to be present in several rooms and two sources have been found with more expected to be discovered later on. This mold remediation project is ongoing and more information about the mold remediation services of Utah Disaster Specialists can be found at https://www.utahdisasterspecialists.com/mold-damage/.

Daryl Olsen, President of Utah Disaster Specialists, says, “We’re happy to report that our mold remediation project for a new condo in Woods Cross is going on smoothly. One of the best reasons for bringing in the professionals for mold damage cleanup is the reduced health risk to yourself and family members. When the pros come in to do mold damage cleanup, they have all the needed protective equipment to include gloves, respirators, and safety goggles. Some cases may require containment to prevent further spreading. One of the biggest problems with mold growth is the respiratory problems it can create. The health risk alone is worth hiring a professional for your mold damage cleanup.”

There are various health issues for people that may arise from living in a property with mold growth. These include lack of focus or concentration; memory loss; nose and throat irritation; headaches; chronic fatigue; burning, itching or watering eyes; serious swelling in legs, ankles, feet, and odor sensitivity; and nausea and exhaustion after a routine activity. A common problem is that the symptoms are usually confused with those of the cold or flu. But prolonged exposure to mycotoxins from mold can have a serious health impact, which is why mold in a property must be removed as early as possible.

Aside from mold remediation, Utah Disaster Specialists can offer other types of clean up. These include water damage cleanup, air duct cleaning, fire damage cleanup, sewage cleanup, and disaster cleanup. Air duct cleaning is essential for homes and other buildings because it helps to lessen the dust, pollutants, and allergen circulating in the home or building. The air that goes through the air ducts will also pass through the respiratory system of the residents and this can result into a number of health issues, such as aggravated allergies, common cold, restless sleep, and more. Air duct cleaning is also important because it can improve the energy efficiency of the HVAC system. If debris and pollutants are found in the HVAC system, it will have to work harder and as much as 25 to 40 percent of the energy is wasted.

Fire damage cleanup is another essential service from Utah Disaster Specialists. A house fire can be really scary because in the blink of an eye, a family’s properties can be consumed by flames. But there may be situations where the fire is extinguished such that a part of the home remains intact. Items that have been destroyed by the fire, smoke or water have to be discarded right away and list of these items should be reported to the insurance company. And then there is the soot and ash, which could be very dangerous because when they are exposed to water, acid is formed that can damage more items in the house, including various surfaces. And the water used to put out the fire also has to be cleaned up. Thus, water damage cleanup will also likely be needed.

Water damage cleanup is a common service provided by Utah Disaster Specialists. This is often needed for flooded basements or rooms where water has gained entry, causing damage to floors, carpets, furniture, and other items. The cleanup professionals will first pump the water out using a sump pump, and then dry the area using industrial heaters and high-powered fans. After drying, they will inspect for the presence of mold, which they will immediately remove if found.
