San Diego Mold Remediation Specialists
Most mold remediation projects are the result of excessive humidity levels, improper water damage remediation, poor air circulation, or water occurrence.
Mold growth can begin within 72 hours of water contact, if the water comes into contact with building materials and is not noticed or extracted properly. The mold growth may or may not be visible from inside the infected area. The mold contamination may stay hidden within the walls, under the floor, or above the ceiling.
 Mold contamination can cause headaches, drowsiness, muscle aches, upper respiratory problems, nose bleeds, or even coughing up blood. This can result in transmitting further illness to people occupying the infected area.
J&M Keystone can help with your mold problem by; testing the indoor air quality, removing all mold and disposing of it properly, and treat all contaminated areas with biocides.
No matter how severe the damage, it's in the owner's best interest to employ a professional mold remediation specialist to carry out the restoration process. Insufficient techniques and incomplete removal by unqualified contractors can potentially cause ongoing damage after the treatment and result in more cost to the owner.
Don't wait to get help. Call J&M Keystone at today for Professional Mold Remediation.

Mold Cleanup |
 |
The most important element in stopping mold from occurring is moisture control. In order to eliminate and prevent mold you must dry water damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. If mold is a problem in your home, the mold must be cleaned and all excess water or moisture eliminated. In order to prevent recurrences, you must fix all leaky plumbing or other sources of water. Mold can be washed off hard surfaces with strong detergent and water, and then dried completely. Absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles & carpet) that have become moldy will most likely need replacement.

Safety Tips While Investigating and Evaluating
Mold and Moisture Problems
Do not touch mold or moldy items with bare hands.
Do not get mold or mold spores in your eyes.
Do not breathe in mold or mold spores.
Assess the size of the mold and/or moisture problem and the type of damaged materials before planning the remediation work. Select a remediation manager for medium or large jobs (or small jobs requiring more than one person). The remediation plan should include
steps to fix the water or moisture problem, or the problem may reoccur.
