The Health Benefits of Mold & Asbestos Removal

You may not realize it, but there may be serious risks to your health lurking in your home, namely mold or asbestos. While you may not have symptoms of issues related to these contaminants now, not taking action can impact your health later on. 

Fortunately, the experts at Revive Restoration can help. We provide mold and asbestos removal for homes and businesses across the state of Michigan. Below, we share the benefits of these services for your personal health and well-being. 

What Health Risks Do Mold & Asbestos Present?

Mold and asbestos each present unique health risks. Due to these risks, it is best to leave mold and asbestos removal to experts, like those at Revive, who have the appropriate training and equipment to handle these types of tasks safely. 

Health Risks Associated With Mold Growth

Mold can grow very quickly, typically within one to two days after water damage occurs, as it thrives in moist environments. This is why you need to act quickly to mitigate water damage, as this is often cheaper and easier than full-scale mold removal. Once mold starts to grow, it can lead to a variety of health concerns, which include: 

• Allergic Reactions
• Asthma Attacks
• Respiratory Infections

These risks are even higher for those who are immunocompromised. If you have a compromised immune system, mold mitigation is extremely important to prevent you from contracting more serious infections. The services of an emergency restoration company, like Revive, can help as we work quickly to remove mold. 

Health Risks Associated With Asbestos

Common in older buildings, asbestos was used in a variety of building materials, including:

• Roofing & Siding
• Floor & Ceiling Tiles
• Insulation

If you suspect your home may have asbestos, consider having professional testing done to confirm your suspicions. You cannot tell if a material contains asbestos just by looking at but restoration companies, like Revive, can test such materials before removing them. Failure to do so can lead to serious conditions such as:

• Cancer, including that of the:
  • Lungs
  • Stomach
  • Colon
  • Ovaries
• Asbestosis
• Respiratory Disorders

To reduce your risk of developing these conditions, hire a restoration company to remove asbestos-containing materials during your next home renovation project.

How to Remove Mold & Asbestos From Your Home or Business 

Mold and asbestos removal is a highly specialized task that should only be handled by trained professionals. However, the experts at Revive are here to share what you can expect when you hire us to perform these services at your home or business.

Our Mold Remediation Process

Our mold remediation process starts with a full damage assessment and air quality test. This helps us to determine the best course of action. Depending on the extent of the damage, we can even restore some of your belongings that have been contaminated by mold. 

Once we determine the next steps, we clean your space and any salvageable items with specialized mold remediation solutions. If there is anything that can’t be restored, we will dispose of it appropriately. Once everything is done, you can safely return to your space again.

Our Asbestos Removal Process

Due to the nature of this type of contaminant, removing asbestos is a more complex process. Before we begin, we seal off the affected area so the fibers do not spread to other parts of your building. 

From there, we use HEPA filter vacuums and air cleaners to remove asbestos from the affected area. We also dispose of the asbestos and other hazardous materials in accordance with the EPA’s standards.

Once the asbestos is removed from your property, we will properly decontaminate the affected space so you can return to it safely. To learn more about this process, contact our asbestos removal team.
