Water Damage a Major Factor in Mold Growth in Buildings

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- LOS ANGELES, CA: Building Cleaning Services, (http://buildingcleaningservices.net/) a Los Angeles mold remediation and building cleaning company, is warning building owners to watch for the indications of water damage in a building to prevent mold infestation that can follow. Building Cleaning Services has many years of experience in mold remediation and has helped countless building owners.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lays out basic facts about mold and the need for immediate remediation: “If mold is a problem in your home or school, you must clean up the mold and eliminate sources of moisture.”

The EPA points out that water in your home can come from many sources, including by leaking or by seeping through basement floors. “The amount of moisture that the air in your home can hold depends on the temperature of the air. As the temperature goes down, the air is able to hold less moisture. This is why, in cold weather, moisture condenses on cold surfaces (for example, drops of water form on the inside of a window). This moisture can encourage biological pollutants to grow.”

Building Cleaning Services has worked with countless building owners in Los Angeles fully rectifying mold problems on their premises. The company has specific procedures for handling water damage in a building, depending on the length of time the water has been in the area, which can be found on the company’s website: http://buildingcleaningservices.net/water-damage/. The company stresses that it is urgent that building owners handle water damage or any other signs of mold infestation right away, for the safety and health of all building occupants.

Just one of the many building owners Building Cleaning Services has helped with mold remediation stated: “The entire crew from Building Cleaning Services was professional and highly skilled. We were in a very tough situation with the black water intrusion and mold situation in our house, but helped to get our home back to normal. I can sleep better at night knowing that a good job was done in our home. I would highly recommend these folks to anyone. We received several quotes and some were lower than BCS, but no other company demonstrated the same depth of knowledge and that gave us confidence that they knew what they were doing.”
