Water damage left untreated often results in extensive mold colonization within a structure.
The first response is always to change the conditions which promote the growth of mold. Mold and mold spores can cause serious health issues and significant infestations must be professionally remediated. Careful use of containment systems, air scrubbers and personal protective equipment is critical for the safety of both technicians and clients.
Professional level hepa vacuum systems are needed to prevent the spread of contamination. Media blasting systems, such as Baking Soda Blasters, are often the most practical systems for more extensive projects. Anti-microbial treatments and coatings can provide an additional level of insurance against future reinfestation.
ATSCO sponsors the 4 day Applied Microbial Remediation Technician certification seminar offering this valuable training to contractors throughout the northeast and improving the quality of remediation and safety within the industry.
