Disinfection services should be considered for your business or commercial property whenever there is a potential risk of contamination from pathogens or other harmful substances. This could include situations such as an outbreak of an infectious disease, rodent feces and other pathogens. Our highly trained technicians are equipped to properly remove and dispose of contaminants, reducing the risk of spreading them to other areas and ensuring the safety of your employees, customers and visitors. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to protecting your business and the health of those in it. Prevention is key when it comes to potential hazards.
Depending on the extent of damage, your insurance representative can help you answer this question. Ultimately, however, this is a decision you must reach on your own. Some things you may want to consider are safety concerns, odours, electricity, and disruption as a result of the equipment, work and noise that may be necessary to complete the restoration process in your home. If vacating your premises during the process, consider forwarding your mail to your temporary residence; stopping your newspaper and other deliveries; notifying your utility company, cable company, etc., of the temporary suspension of services during the restoration process.
Mildew is a surface fungus that easily develops on cardboard, books and even fabrics. Mildew usually grows in a flat pattern and may appear powdery. Mildew usually starts out white and may later turn to yellow, brown or black. It can usually be treated with a store bought cleaner and scrub brush. Mould is usually fuzzy in appearance and can be many different colours including white, yellow, blue, green, brown, gray and black. Mould will cause structural damage to your property and can cause numerous health issues.
