“The United States Toxic Mold Safety and Protection Act”

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Congressman John Conyers is introducing a new bill, a bill that will hopefully help educate, reduce, and prevent several factors that have come to alarming numbers under the topic of toxic mold.  This bill is being introduced under the name of, “The United States Toxic Mold Safety and Protection Act”.

This act is to create research into mold growth, types of molds, clean-up options, as well as prevention options of some molds. Mold has been here since the beginning of time and can not be completely destroyed but it can be controlled to a degree. The act also speaks of educational programs that will be created to teach the public of such dangers. Also includes assistance to those victims who have suffered from such issues.

All the help and education from this act that is being brought to the attention of our nation is something that anyone and everyone will benefit from.  Mold is too much of a risk to people to just let it go as an unknown topic to all the public.  Do your own research and see what information you can find on this act.

For more general information or if you need help with a mold problem or you believe you might have a mold problem give us a call at 704-545-0098.  Check out our website at www.gotmoldinnorthcarolina.com

Duct Cleaning

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

When speaking of duct cleaning there are several different parts and areas that are looked at to be cleaned, and should be cleaned thoroughly to increase the indoor air quality of your home or business. Such parts and areas that need to be cleaned by a service provider that is qualified to clean all areas include the supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing. All these mechanisms need to be properly installed, operated, as well as maintained throughout their use or they may become contaminated with several concerns. Dust, pollen, and debris are common items that get into the duct systems if they aren’t properly taken care and maintained that could become a much larger scale issue down the road if left untreated, especially for people who have allergies to such contaminates. If your home or business has a higher level of moisture in the air then normal these ducts could start to grow mold and when this happens mold spores could start to filter into your breathing space and cause havoc.
