Allergies related to mold exposure

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Chances are that you have encountered mold at one point in your life. From a leaky bathroom faucet to an old loaf of bread, mold can grow in many places. Unfortunately, allergies related to mold exposure are a serious problem for many people. It is estimated that 10% of Americans are allergic to mold.

Symptoms of a mold allergy include dizziness, nose bleeds, nausea, difficulty breathing and skin rashes. In serious cases of overexposure, mold can even cause death. If you suspect that you are allergic to mold, check with your doctor for a mold allergy skin test.

The first step in treating a mold allergy is eliminating exposure. If that is not possible, your doctor might recommend antihistamine medications or a series of allergy shots to help reduce symptoms.

Unfortunately, detecting mold in your home can be difficult. Mold can grow year-round in many types of environments. When mold grows in a visible location, it is apparent to the naked eye in the form of brown or black spots. However, it can also grow in places that you are unlikely to see, such as closets, refrigerator door gaskets, air conditioner units and carpets.

If you suspect that your home is harboring dangerous mold allergens, it’s time to call in the professionals. A water, mold and fire restoration company can assess the extent of the damage in your home and repair any damage that has been done. After a professional restoration company has completed the task, you can rest assured that your home is mold-free.

The cost of professional water, mold and fire restoration varies depending on the extent of the job. Be sure to check your homeowner’s insurance to see if the work is covered under you policy.

Once the experts have cleared your home of mold, be sure to keep up regular maintenance to ensure a mold outbreak does not occur again. Keep an eye out for leaks, and inspect windows and doors regularly to ensure that unwanted moisture cannot enter your home.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or any severe weather storm can produce enough water to damage everything you own and love.

Super Restoration-Specializing In Water Damage Restoration For Condominium Associations

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Hello Readers,

Water damage mitigation and restoration for condominium associations is different from stand alone residences and takes some specialized expertise to get the job done properly. Water damage could be from a general flood, a backup of a sewer line, a broken washing machine hose, or even a broken window during a thunderstorm.

It really doesn’t matter how the water got in, what matters is how soon can it be taken out. This is not a do-it-yourself job, it takes professionals with professional equipment to mitigate water damage. Super Restoration-specializing in water damage mitigation for condominium associations are the experts for your association to call when water damage occurs. They can help with the insurance maze and know how to file claims with all major carriers. If you visit our site now, you can find out a little more reagrding this at, http://www.superrestoration.com/waterextraction.php.

As a general rule, individual condo insurance policies do not cover damage to the drywall, studs, insulation, flooring, windows and other parts of the condo that belong to the association. Think of it this way, as an owner, you own space in the building, not the building itself. From the floor covering to the paint on the walls and ceiling and anything within that box your policy will cover including furniture. Anything outside of that box is covered by the association’s policy. So your insurance and the association’s insurance has to work together. Super Restoration has the expertise and experience to help.

Remember, the flood in your condo, no matter where it came from, might also damage your neighbor’s condo on either side and below. So, you want people who know what they are doing to come into your place and those of your neighbors to repair the damage. It might be something as simple as lifting the carpet, drying it out, removing the pad, putting down a germacide and mildewcide to prevent mold and mildew, and reattaching the carpet. On the other hand, if the water built up and got onto the walls, the drywall may have to be cut out so far up the wall, and the old wet drywall removed and new drywall installed. This, of course, requires painting.

Super Restoration-specializing in water damage mitigation for condominium associations are experts in the field of water damage to condos. Don’t leave it to chance, have your association call Super Restoration whenever you have a water damage problem big or small.
