Armed Response 24 tackles tough mold and mildew problems:
structural damage, spoilage to valuables,
health effects and allergies.
Call Armed Response 24 for the remediation/cleanup of mold, mildew and moisture problems in your home or business.
Molds grow almost anywhere. An organic substance, moisture and oxygen are the only requirements for mold to grow. Any building has the potential for mold due to its construction and
contents containing insulation, wood, carpet, upholstery, paper, and food. Mildew is a mold that lives on fabric. Excessive moisture in buildings can cause mold to grow especially if the moisture problem is not corrected. In spite of the fact that it is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores, by eliminating moisture, mold can be controlled. Call Armed Response 24 to address any moisture problems that could result in mold damage within 48 hours of discovery of the problem.
If you know or suspect that the water source is contaminated with sewage, contact Armed Response 24 immediately. Plumbing problems, leaks and backed up sewage lines can be especially dangerous to your health. Make sure that flood water is clean or sanitary before attempting to use drying fans. You are better off calling the professionals at Armed Response 24 to dry the affected area.
Our specially trained crews will provide water extraction and dehumidification services to guard against possible health issues. In addition to carpet and carpet pads, it is essential to dry and clean the subflooring.
Licensed contractors from Armed Response 24 will make all necessary structural repairs and deal directly with your insurance agent or adjuster.
Fast, courteous, professional mold inspection and remediation service when you need it most...that's what you can expect from Armed Response 24.
The Hidden Dangers:
Mold spores surround us indoors and outdoors. When they land in a moist environment they may begin to grow. Whatever they grow on is gradually destroyed.
Toxins can be produced by mold. Asthma attacks can be caused by mold. Allergic reactions may happen in people sensitive to mold. It's easy to see why it's important to clean existing mold and prevent its occurrence.
Since mold requires water to grow, it is important to prevent moisture problems in buildings. Faulty plumbing is leading cause of moisture problems in buildings. Exterior sources of moisture such as leaky roofs or gutters can also create problems from moisture. Landscaping too is a source of problems in areas with poor drainage. Delayed or poor maintenance in homes and commercial buildings is yet another source for damage from mold and mildew. No matter what size of structure, from residences to commercial, Armed Response 24 can order swab testing for mold with specially trained, licensed technicians and return your property to a like new condition.
