Bio Clean of Utah Offers Utah Mold Testing Services

March 22, 2019 – – Bio Clean of Utah, based in Centerville, Utah, has announced that they are providing Utah mold testing services for homes and buildings. The company wants to warn people about the health risks of having mold in their homes, aside from possibly causing damage to the structure of the home if left unattended. They also want people to know that the mold testing process can be extensive and therefore requires a qualified specialist to examine the property and make sure sufficient treatment is provided to prevent further spread of the mold.

Daryl Olsen, president of Bio Clean of Utah, says, “We are happy to announce that we are offering mold testing services in Utah. All property owners are guaranteed a thorough inspection as soon as the process commences. The inspector is a certified professional and will have years of experience in engaging mold and understanding how to handle it. Each situation will vary, and the inspector will assess the present situation and the potential for future damage. Once the inspection is completed with a detailed report, the plan of action will be put together. The plan will handle the short and long-term concerns with mold in the property and how it’s going to move forward with the goal to eradicate all mold.”

Bio Clean of Utah specializes in mold remediation or mold removal, which is essential for homeowners because molds produce chemicals that are irritants and allergens, causing people to suffer from the symptoms of hay fever, such as skin rashes, runny nose, sneezing, irritated eyes and nose, and various throat and lung problems. Many toxic molds, such as black mold, produce poisonous chemicals known as mycotoxins. These chemicals can interfere with cellular processes and structures, that can result into serious health issues. Research has shown that mycotoxins can cause victims to suffer from pulmonary hemosiderosis or pulmonary hemorrhage, headaches and other flu-like symptoms, immune system suppression, nose bleeds, chronic fatigue, diarrhea, mental depression, dermatitis, sore throats, and hair loss.

In the mold remediation process, mold testing is the starting procedure. Experts from Bio Clean of Utah will go to the property and conduct an inspection, taking into consideration the current dampness, the history of the property, affected materials, moisture source, and suspected affected areas. They will make use of a range of moisture detection devices and meters. They will also take advantage of their experience to look for signs of mold.

It is not advisable for homeowners to do the mold inspection themselves. This is because molds produce spores and these are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye. People may not even realize that they have already breathed in mold spores. This is also the reason why molds must be eradicated from the home. Black, allergenic and toxic molds can cause serious health problems especially in the young, the elderly, and those who have weak lungs and immune systems.

Black mold is notorious for causing health problems. This is known as Strachybotrys chartarum or Strachybotrys atra. It has been found to be closely linked to the death of infants due to respiratory bleeding, bronchitis, and asthma. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), black mold is responsible for more than 100 cases of lung disorders.

Black mold is usually found in water soaked ceiling tiles, wood, cardboard, wall paneling, and items made of cotton. It can grow on insulation and drywall and can infest areas in the walls, floors, and ceilings. The mold clean-up measures to be done by Bio Clean of Utah are: containment, removal of contaminated materials, neutralization and cleaning of contaminated areas, and application of anti-microbial coating to remediated areas.

Bio Clean of Utah had been given the 2018 Expertise Award for Best Damage Restoration Companies in Salt Lake City. It is currently one of the candidates for the same award for the year 2019. Those who require more information about mold testing and mold remediation services can visit the company website, or contact them by telephone or by email.
