Got Mold? Think AdvantaClean of Cary & Apex NC

Many Triangle residents have allergic reactions to mold when they come in contact with the spores in the air they breathe every day.  Mold exposure can happen anywhere and in any building where mold could grow indoors, and mold can grow in any building!  AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex wants to prevent and manage health problems due to mold exposure here in towns of Cary and Apex, and Western Wake and Johnston County.

There are many causes for mold to grow indoors, and several tell-tale signs and symptoms to warn when mold is present.

It is important to note that mold can form and grow in any area of a home or business:

• Bathrooms/Restrooms: Mold loves to grow in humid environments.  Home bathrooms become humid from hot showers, or standing water left in the sink.  Shower or locker rooms in a gym can be at risk as well due to high frequency of steam in the air, so ventilation is key to minimize the problem. 
• Kitchens:  Boiling water for pasta or steam from a coffee maker can create condensation in a ceiling or on the wall which could lead to mold growth.
• Laundry Rooms:  A dryer is a major source of humidity in the laundry room.  The combination of wet clothes and high heat can release a lot of moisture into the air, especially if the dryer vent is dirty and not functioning properly!  This is another problem that AdvantaClean of Cary can solve!
• Basements:  These underground rooms can be mold headquarters. Since basements or cellars are often poorly ventilated, any amount of water which enters does not have an easy way out.  Leaky pipes or a heavy rain can introduce moisture into the air which can linger, causing mold to form.  Generally, this mold will go unnoticed for longer periods, and flourish since basements are not usually frequented as much as other rooms of the home or office. 
• Walls and Ceilings: Mold that forms in the walls or ceiling of a room is unseen, and can remain unresolved until a professional mold inspection, testing and remediation is performed.

The signs that mold has entered into a residence or commercial building are not always visible.  Neurological symptoms like dizziness, memory loss, headaches, shortened memory or trouble concentrating can be caused by mold spores polluting the air.  At the first sign or possibility of mold in a building, it is imperative to call AdvantaClean of Cary immediately to remedy the situation!  Mold is a serious issue and AdvantaClean is here to help.

Backed Up Pipe Problems in the Home or Office?

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex Can Make It Right! Water damage is never a very good experience when it happens in the home or office.  When the damage comes from the plumbing itself, water and all types of other waste, food scraps and even sewage come flooding into a space.  This can be a major problem for everyone in the building or home environment.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex knows how to remedy these situations properly, and with a strategy of professionalism and urgency!

Cleaning all the damage up quickly is crucial for everyone involved for three critical reasons:

• Water damage causes mold.  If not quickly and properly removed, water can cause deep- seated problems to emerge down the road.  Any moisture left behind after pipes back up can eventually lead to an outbreak of mold in a home or office.  Mold is a health hazard, and is difficult to remediate.  Wasting time getting water cleaned up can lead to a much bigger problem down the road.
• Waste water from backed up pipes brings toxins into the home or office.  Particles in the water that comes from pipes, whether it is sewage or decayed food matter, can bring toxins into the air which flows throughout the building.  These pollutants can be detrimental to the health of everyone in the building if not eradicated promptly.  The AdvantaClean Environmental team of Cary/ Apex will safely remove all hazardous materials using standard IICRC cleanup practices, so as to ensure the safety of everyone in the home or place of business.
• Improper cleanup can be structurally damaging.  If water is not removed from a building promptly and properly, it can seep into porous walls and floors and get into the wooden structure of a building.  This water can cause a slow rot in the wood that will compromise the integrity of the structure, and lead to major damage in the future.

When pipes back up, waste no time in contacting AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex!  Our professionals will get the space cleared out safely so life and business can resume as usual.
