There are a variety of reasons the moisture intrusion can happen including but not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"style1\">\n<li>Construction defects<\/li>\n<li>Plumbing failures<\/li>\n<li>Appliance water line or drain line breaks<\/li>\n<li>Improper maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Weather-related issues including storms and hurricanes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When mold damage is discovered in your home or business, the most critical course of action is to have it remediated as quickly as possible and ensure structural materials remaining are dried as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>PuroClean\u2019s IICRC certified technicians follow industry standards to remediate mold that has infected and or damaged property the right way. Our goal is to return your home or business to a pre-loss condition by taking the following steps.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"style1\">\n<li>Establish a scope of remediation and repair by thoroughly inspecting the affected area\/s.<\/li>\n<li>Implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination of unaffected areas of the building by utilizing negative pressures with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) air filtration devices.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a remediation protocol to remove contaminates by:\n<ul>\n<li>Removing compromised materials and contents per industry standards.<\/li>\n<li>Thoroughly clean the air by using HEPA air filters devices and HEPA vacuums.<\/li>\n<li>Thoroughly clean all surfaces with cleaning solutions that may include EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered disinfectants, followed HEPA vacuuming all surfaces again. Once remediation is complete, it is recommended to have a Certified Industrial Hygienist complete a 3rd part clearance test to ensure the building is safe for occupancy. A good source to find a CIH is through ACGIH.org website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We can provide a complete estimate, including photos, to the agent or adjuster within 24-48 hours.

A poorly constructed or sealed building can lead to excessive moisture and water leakage, creating an ideal environment for mold to flourish. Cracks in the foundation, incorrectly installed windows, inadequate insulation, and insufficient ventilation can all contribute to water intrusion, enabling mold growth.<\/p>\n<h3>Plumbing Failures<\/h3>\n<p>Plumbing failures, like leaks or blockages, lead to mold growth in a property. When water from these issues seeps into walls or floors, it creates a perfect environment for mold to thrive. When airborne mold spores collide with the excess moisture, it can result in mold colonies. If plumbing problems are not addressed promptly, mold will take hold and require professional mold remediation.<\/p>\n<h3>Appliance Failures<\/h3>\n<p>Malfunctioning appliances, like leaky dishwashers or water heaters, ice maker and washing machine water supply lines, can lead to mold growth on a property. When water seeps into hidden, poorly lit surfaces, such as behind walls, it creates the perfect conditions for mold to develop. That\u2019s why timely maintenance and inspections of your appliances are critical, as their failure can quickly cause mold growth that requires mold remediation services.<\/p>\n<h3>Improper Property Maintenance<\/h3>\n<p>Neglecting property maintenance can lead to mold growth. Ignoring leaks, plumbing issues, poor ventilation, or roof drainage concerns can not only lead to mold proliferation, but also be uninsurable. Not performing regular routine maintenance can be a primary reason for insurance companies to deny a claim related to water intrusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"template":"","class_list":["post-14","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-homewood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/14","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-homewood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-homewood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-homewood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/birmingham-al-puroclean-homewood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
