Mold Outbreak in a Chestnut Ridge Home Forces Residents to Leave Until PuroClean Was Able Remediate

Although mold is naturally occurring, it is still toxic to humans. When people come into contact with it, various ailments can develop as a result. Recently, PuroClean helped a client deal with the negative effects of a mold infestation. An elderly man and his adult daughter lived together in a house in Chestnut Ridge, NY.  Their home had become overrun with mold and they were forced to leave for serious health reasons. PuroClean stepped in to remediate the situation and help them get their home back.

Fighting The Fungus: Mitigating the Mold Infestation

The homeowners were denied coverage by their insurance, forcing them to cover most of the cost out of pocket. On top of that, they were temporarily displaced from the residence. These factors encouraged us to finish the job even more quickly than usual, to help the family out.

The contaminated areas included spaces throughout the main level and the basement. Significant growth was also visible on the stairs leading into the basement. So, our team conducted demolition work to reach the spores growing within the walls and ceiling. Our crew removed the affected components and began sanitizing.

We completed the job swiftly from there. All that remained was the reconstruction of the walls, and shortly thereafter, the daughter was able to move back in and they could resume their life. They were very thankful for the ease of the process and the efficiency at which we provided the remediation.

Mold can be dangerous when found in a home or business. It can lead to many health issues, as it did in this instance. Common symptoms associated with some types of indoor mold growth are asthma attacks, dizziness, skin rashes, sneezing, red eyes, headaches, and a runny nose. And if you suffer from a respiratory illness, these issues can increase exponentially. It is important that trained professionals assess and treat the mold for health and safety reasons.
