AIRBORNE AND
BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS:
Pathogens are
disease-causing agents, such as viruses, bacteria and fungi and can
be spread through blood, body fluids, sewage, and even through the
air. These pathogens can include but are not limited to hepatitis,
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and mycobacterium tuberculosis
(TB). Not all pathogens are spread through bloodborne and
airborne exposures.
WATER AND SEWAGE
Water damage may occur from
various sources where contamination is categorized by levels
according to the water source.
Category 1 “Clean Water” – Drinkable or non-contaminate
water source such as broken plumbing supply lines, tub or
sink overflow.
Category 2 “Gray Water” – Contains chemicals &
pollutants which can cause sickness & carry nutrients
for microorganisms from sources such as washing machine
or dishwasher overflow, broken fish aquariums, punctured water
beds or broken toilet tanks.
Category 3 “Black Water” - Grossly unsanitary and
contains pathogenic agents & organic matter from sources
such as toilet overflow, sewage, sea water, rising river
or ground water caused by flooding.

METHAMPHETAMINE LAB CLEAN-UP:
Meth is often
made in makeshift laboratories, such as rented housing, basements or hotel
rooms. A number of steps are needed during the process of “cooking” meth and hazardous chemicals can be formed.
As a result of meth “cooking,” many chemicals may contaminate the
property. Some household materials may actually absorb the
chemicals. For example: carpeting, wallboard, ceiling tile or
fabric may soak-up the chemicals. furniture, draperies and/or clothing
may soak up chemical vapors and can become contaminated. Soil or ground water may become
contaminated if chemicals are dumped in the septic system or on the
ground.
It is our belief the safest way to clean-up a former meth lab is to
hire environmental professionals that are trained in hazardous
substance removal and clean up. Owners who decide to clean
properties on their own should be aware that household building
materials and furniture may absorb contaminants and release harmful
fumes.
FIRE AND SMOKE
Fire,
Soot and Smoke residue removal and cleaning - Smoke from fire
can cause a considerable amount of damage but did you know that
cigarettes and candles produce a sooty smoke that can leave a
residue on walls, ceilings and other structural surfaces as well as
clothing and furnishings? This type of residue can cause as much
damage as smoke caused from fire.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Deodorization,
fumigation and air cleaning for odors due to Animals, Cooking,
Protein, Cigarette and soot; Air cleaning and hepa-vacuuming for
particulate and dust.
STRUCTURAL REMODELING & REPAIRS
Drywall
patches, repairs and complete replacement; Painting & Texturing;
Cabinets, countertops, fixtures, windows and doors.
