The padding, which is installed underneath most carpeting, is removed due to its ability to hold excessive amounts of water. If not removed it can extend the dry out process and possibly cause additional damage to your subfloor or cause the carpet backing to delaminate.

Mold

Mold is a fungi. Mold grows indoors or outdoors. It can grow on carpets, cloth, sheetrock, woods, leather and insulations when moist conditions occur. Mold reproduces by producing spores and can have a major impact on health.

In our climate it can take as little as 24 hours of moist conditions for mold, fungus or mildew to begin growing.

Water damage that is not property mitigated, high humidity, lack of proper ventilation, blocked HVAC ducts and leaks that are not properly repaired. These are just a few examples.

First off, mold can be hazardous to your health and there are strict guidelines and procedures to follow when dealing with this toxic substance. The FSA-Full Steam Ahead staff is certified in mold remediation. We use state of the art equipment and chemicals to eliminate mold and prevent the spread of the spores.

Industrial hygienists are scientists and engineers committed to protecting the health and safety of people in the workplace and the community. (AIHA Website) They are typically called in at the beginning of a mold remediation job to test the air quality and verify the specific types of mold found. They then write a mold remediation protocol for the remediation contractor to follow. After FSA-Full Steam Ahead, the remediation contractor, has completed the remediation process, the industrial hygienist is then called back to the property for further testing and to verify that all mold/mold spores have been removed.
