Mold Remediation and Restoration: The presence of water can spur the growth of mold in any type of building. Mold has the ability to spread throughout the property in as little as two days. As a result, allergens, irritants and other nasty particles can impact the health of those in the building. If you have any suspicion that your building has a mold issue, contact Elite Recovery Team today. We’ll perform a comprehensive inspection of your property to determine if mold exists. If mold is discovered, our staff will put its experience and advanced equipment to work to remedy the problem. Fight Mold Growth by Understanding It Both indoor and outdoor environments contain mold spores. This means it is impossible to get rid of all the mold that exists in your home or business. While other restoration businesses market their services as “complete mold removal”, such a statement is a lie. Here are some actual facts about mold:

  • Microscopic mold spores exist in almost every environment on the planet, regardless of whether it is indoors or outdoors.
  • Mold generates a pungent, musty odor. Follow its scent and it just might lead you to the problem space(s).
  • Mold spores float through the air. They can enter your building through doors, windows, HVAC systems and by attaching themselves to your clothing/pet(s).
  • Indoor humidity that rises above acceptable levels has the potential to support mold growth. Keep your indoor humidity level at 45 percent or lower.
  • Mold spores flourish in the presence of moisture.

All sources of moisture or standing water need to be addressed before the mold remediation process can occur. If these sources are not dealt with, the mold will likely return.

Fire Damage: Without restoration and remediation, a fire has the potential to ruin your home or business. In the aftermath of a fire, your property will have smoke and fire damage as well as considerable water damage due to firefighting efforts. This is a severe problem that will require plenty of time and effort to fix. Lean on the repair and restoration experts at Elite Recovery Team to get your home or business back to a semblance of what it used to be. Our well-trained and experienced fire and water damage specialists will restore your home’s condition to its pre-fire condition. Our specialists can even get rid of the nasty smell of
fire-damagesmoke and the presence of soot from your carpet and upholstery. Actions to take after a fire occurs, it is imperative to take immediate action to preserve the integrity of your home or business as well as your health.

  • Decrease the amount of movement in the home so that soot particles do not become embedded in the carpets or upholstery.
  • If the electricity is off, remove the contents of the refrigerator and freezer. Be sure to prop the doors open as well.
  • Direct everyone who enters the home to wash their hands and keep them clean to prevent further damage to the walls and upholstery.
  • Put old linens along the most heavily trafficked areas.
  • Protect chrome with a light coating of oil/petroleum jelly.
  • Change the HVAC filter, wash the leaves of any plants and place two cheesecloths on the air registers for added protection.

What NOT to do in the Aftermath of a Fire

  • Do not clean electrical appliances that were located in the vicinity of the fire/water or impacted by the fire/water. A better course of action is to reach out to Elite Recovery Team for a professional cleaning and repair.
  • Do not turn on the ceiling fixtures if there is any moisture on the ceiling as the wiring might not be operable.
  • Do not shampoo the carpet/upholstery or wash the building’s walls or any other painted surfaces until you have consulted with Elite Recovery Team’s cleaning specialists.
  • Do not bring your clothes to a dry cleaner. If the cleaning service does not clean them in the proper manner, smoke odor could remain in the garments.
  • Do not consume beverages, packaged food or canned goods that were stored near areas impacted by the fire. The same is true of items sprayed with water during fire elimination efforts.
