Mold Remediation

Mold can be a scary four letter word when describing the microbial (MOLD) contamination that occurs when cellulose components, materials, and items associated with a building become wetted due to an uncontrolled moisture intrusion event. When and if you are faced with uncontrolled moisture intrusion events or you suspect mold growth to be present due to visible mold growth and/or a musty smelly odor inside or outside your building please give us a call. Building Abatement Demolition Company, Inc. can help you with any type mold remediation project or moisture removal and dry out process to help mitigate and stop mold growth and or any additional mold growth. Building Abatement Demolition Company, Inc. maintains and utilizes a vast knowledge base of training and experience in mitigating indoor air quality issues that may result from mold contamination or damp indoor environments. Bad company can help with:

• moisture removal
• structure dry outs
• small scale to large complex mold remediation’s
• implementing and maintaining a mold management plan or Moisture Prevention Management Plan

The key to controlling mold growth in any environment inside or outside a building is to control the moisture.
The Texas Department of State Health Services has regulated mold related activities in public and commercial buildings that affect indoor air quality. These rules titled TEXAS MOLD ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION RULES contain requirements for the licensing and registration of persons performing mold assessments and mold remediation, requirements for the accreditation of mold training providers, minimum work standards for the conduct of mold assessments and remediation by licensed and registered persons, a code of ethics, and penalties.

Building Abatement Demolition Company, Inc. is a Texas Licensed Mold Remediation Contracting Company

Indoor air quality in homes and public buildings is becoming more of an issue today due to the facts:

1. People are spending more time in indoor environments both at work, at school, and at home. Repeated short and long term exposures to elevated concentrations of indoor air pollutants has been determined to cause a wide variety of ill health effects in humans.
2. Building sciences such as : building components and application, energy efficient building designs, HVAC systems, ill health effects produced from exposure to indoor pollutants, and the relationship between these subjects has established how poor IAQ can affect the occupants in a negative manner.
3. Damp indoor air environments are associated with causing poor indoor air quality, but also the damage that occurs to the materials of the building can be very costly to the building owners in several different aspects such as: mitigation costs, lost revenue, and legal risks that may arise from ill health effects from the exposure of indoor air pollutants.

A qualified mold remediation contractor should have appropriate experience; demonstrate a broad understanding of indoor air quality problems and the conditions which can lead to them. As you prepare to hire mitigation services in the area of indoor air quality, be aware that it is a developing area of knowledge constantly evolving at this time.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), as well as other occupational health related associations, has not established permissible exposure levels, recommended exposure limits, or other threshold limit values for aerosolized microbial contaminates. The EPA has developed several guidance documents regarding indoor air quality for buildings. NIOSH has conducted indoor air quality investigations in non-industrial and non-residential buildings and cooperates with EPA on related guidelines. State and Federal agencies such as these are continuing to investigate indoor air quality, including biological contaminants, and the need for more public health guidance. Certain state and local governments have also developed guidelines. Industrial hygiene and environmental professional associations, universities and trade groups involved with indoor air quality and biological contaminants have also developed guidelines for investigating and remediation of these contaminants. The issue of indoor air quality and biological contaminants, particularly in occupied buildings, is the subject of continued investigation.
