Manhattan Mold Inspections Company Announces New State of the Art Mold Remediation Equipment Acquisitions For Hurricane Sandy Flood and Mold Victims

A spokesperson for a Manhattan Mold Removal company stated , “The severity of the mold infestation is first determined by taking a series of air samples. The samples are put through various laboratory tests to determine if the levels of mold spore concentrations of mycotoxins are above safe limits. In the event that these levels are high, an evacuation of the premises of the home or business may be warranted”.  

The spokesperson further stated,  “The water damage from Hurricane Sandy can begin a mold colonization in a duration as little as 24 hours, therefore, an accurate method such as infrared technology can and will be used to pick up even the smallest colonies of mold which may pose a threat in the very near future”. The spokesperson for the company also elaborated on how this kind of thermal imaging expedites the entire processes of mold inspection and mold testing, allowing them to generate a NYC mold inspection report for a clients in as little as 24 hours.

Manhattan Mold Inspection has recently purchased new  thermography systems, HEPA filtration systems, air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, and other equipment as their latest addition to their mold company's mold inspection, mold detection, and mold removal arsenal for the rise in new mold cases being reported from Hurricane Sandy flooding. "The idea of thermographic investigations of mold is to find hidden moisture sources that may not be picked up by other technologies. Our comprehensive mold investigation reports are always accompanied by photo documentation along with more information, results from inspection, results from lab tests, and more.", according to a spokesperson of Manhattan Mold Inspection.  The spokesperson continued, "In instances when photo documentation is not possible due to inaccessibility of studied structures, thermography becomes particularly important as hidden areas of wallpaper, drywall, ceiling tiles and wood paneling become "transparent" to thermography. While this does not mean that thermography can see through hard structures, it can pick up temperature changes that may indicate a possible mold infestation. If our mold investigators find that there is a characteristic pattern of temperature changes, the area will then receive more attention and be further tested for mold. All of the swabs and samples, would then be sent to a state-of-the-art laboratory to identify the specific kind of mold, how much of it is present, and what its ill-effects are. This information will then be submitted to both the insurance company and homeowner to determine an action plan".

Manhattan Mold Remediation goes above and beyond IICRC S500 standards for mold remediation by adopting powerful air scrubbing technology, HEPA filtration systems, and dehumidifiers into their mold removal protocols. Air scrubbing involves cleaning out the air through the entire procedure. The idea is to remove any airborne particles by sucking in air through their multiple filtration system that guarantees that no dangerous particles are present after mold remediation. This procedure involves a powerful filtration system that is repeated for several cycles before an area is considered clean. All NYC mold inspection and mold removal projects are always confirmed through air sample testing in order to make sure that mold spore concentrations are at a bare minimum. The materials that are salvageable are then taken to a clean room where they would be decontaminated by environmentally friendly products followed by a thorough treatment from air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums. A spokesperson for Manhattan Mold Removal stated, ” Any mold remediation project  performed by us  is always followed up by a validation performed by our industrial hygienists who must approve the project before it is considered completed”.

The final step is the visual inspection performed as a final verification step finishes off the entire mold remediation process which must adhere to the highest standards set by the New York City Department of Health and the IICRC.

The new technology that the company has recently acquired has only further solidified their reputation as the premier providers of mold detection and mold remediation services in the New York City area. With their successful proven track record, and with thousands of homes and businesses under their belt, the company is adding yet another feather to their already full cap.
