Safety Steps
Questions About Health & Safety
Can I Control Mold Growth in my Home?
Yes you can. Dry out the House and fix any moisture problems in your home
• Stop water leaks, repair leaky roofs and plumbing. Keep water away from
concrete slabs.
• Open windows and doors to increase air flow in your home, especially along the inside of exterior walls. Use a fan if there are no windows available.
• Make sure that warm air flows into all areas of the home. Move large objects a few inches away from the inside of exterior walls to increase air circulation.
• Install and use exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
Should I Paint Over Mold?
​It is not recommended to paint over mold, not even with anti-mold paint. That type of paint can work to resist the development of mold if applied to a clean, mold-free surface. However, it will not kill mold already on the surface, at least not completely. It simply makes it hard to see the growth of mold underneath and it can spread. The mold problem can get much worse!
Does Bleach Kill Mold?
Bleach only kills mold growing on non-porous surfaces like glass, tiles, countertops, bathtubs, etc. Bleach is not effective on porous materials such as wood, drywall, and personal belongings such as shoes, purses, etc., because root structure of mold called hyphae actually grow into porous material substrate. The hyphae cannot be eradicated using bleach, because bleach cannot penetrate deeply enough into the roots that are protected by a special enzyme. Bleach also emits potent fumes that can cause a variety of health problems and therefore is not recommended by the EPA for this purpose.
Indoor Air Quality
What Causes Indoor Air Quality Problems?
Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the home. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants.
Pollutants and Sources of Indoor Air Pollution
Mold spores, bacteria and viruses, Dust mites, animal dander and pollen
Immediate effects
Some people can become sensitized to biological and chemical pollutants after repeated exposures. Certain immediate effects are similar to those from colds or other viral diseases, so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the time and place symptoms occur. If the symptoms fade or go away when a person is away from home, for example, an effort should be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes. Some effects may be made worse by an inadequate supply of outdoor air or from the heating, cooling, or humidity conditions prevalent in the home.
Long-Term Effects
INSPECTION
Visual Inspection & Sensory Equipment Detection
The purpose of inspection is to evaluate and determine if there is a mold problem.
The Inspection Consists of Two Phases
Visual Inspection
Either exterior or interior, we look for all areas susceptible to water damage or water intrusion even in areas not easily seen.
Interior:
Exterior:
Upon completion of inspection, if there are signs of potential microbial growth present, sampling is the next necessary step. Sampling can confirm the presence and type of contamination, as well as the concentration levels.
REMEDIATION
Remediation is a Process with 4 Main Objectives.
2. Kill the Mold
After the area containment, a biocide solution is applied directly to kill surface mold, along with a ULV cold fogger application to kill airborne spores and penetrate unreachable places.

4. Encasement
Encasement is a coating containing a fungi static agent which is applied to necessary remediated areas, to prevent and resist potential recurring mold growth.

Testimonials
Jennifer A.
Ahmad (the owner) and his complete staff were very respectful and understanding of my possible mold situation. His employee were on time, they told me exactly what their plans were for that day, when they were going to lunch, basically excellent communication for the 4 days they were working on my place. They vacuumed and cleaned up the mess as if it didn't even happen. I can't say enough nice things about this company. Highly, highly recommended for any of their work that they do! Great job!

I can't say enough nice things about working with Aames! He was refereed to us because of his expertise in mold remediation (we bought a very old fixer upper). We were so impressed with his professionalism, communication and competitive pricing we ended up using him for all of our flooring too! He took our stained, 80 yr old hardwood floors and made them gorgeous! Helped us pick the perfect stain to complement our historic home and now there is not a flaw in sight! Also did our carpeting on the second floor and it looks beautiful - very high quality and installed perfectly. We had a very complicated job, as we had to make many improvements in only 4 weeks, and Aames worked with our schedule and was very flexible. Having worked with a lot of contractors that don't show up on time, shirk responsibility and are a general disappointment, I so appreciate someone as professional AND affordable as Aames. We will absolutely use him again for future flooring jobs!
Molds are part of our natural environment. They are found both indoors and outdoors. They are meant to decompose organic materials such as leaves outdoors, but can be potentially toxic inside... some with devastating health effects.
