INDOOR AIR/MOLD

MOLD - IS IT IN YOUR BUILDING? 


RT has ramped up its services related to mold assessment and remediation.  A significant number of buildings are being found to have problems, as follows:


  • water damaged building materials acting as a culture for mold growth
  • past flooding causing damage to carpets, and promoting subsequent mold growth
  • sewage backups, not properly remediated leading to illnesses and/or deaths of pets or building occupants
  • buildups of mold in air ducts, caused by HVAC system malfunctions or lack of proper maintenance

Some individuals are more susceptible than others to mold growing in occupied office, residential, or industrial spaces.  The NYS Department of Health has issued Guidelines for mold assessment and remediation, which RT is already implementing.
