LOS ANGELES, CA: Building Cleaning Service (BCS) (https://buildingcleaningservices.net), a highly respected and recommended mold removal service based in Los Angeles said that recent rains have made buildings susceptible to water damage and mold. The company reminds Californians that the California Toxic Mold Protection Act of 2001 recognizes that health effects from mold exposure occur through allergic reactions, infection, irritation of mucous membranes, or toxicity.

While people need to be alert to mold contamination, BCS said expeditious and expert remediation (removal) of the problem can help prevent health problems that can ensue from mold. BCS takes the worry out of the mold removal process with clients’ questions fully answered and assistance going above the norm.

A Toxic Mold Protection Act reports the following:

• “Nonallergic persons exposed to extensive mold growth may experience eye, nose, or throat irritation leading to symptoms similar to ‘hay fever,’ that is, reddened or itchy eyes, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, or sore throat.”
• “Currently there is insufficient scientific information to determine if inhalation of fungal particles may also cause systemic toxic effects in humans. Inhabitants of damp or moldy buildings have reported nonspecific symptoms, such as fatigue, headache, memory problems, nosebleed, body aches, and fevers.”
• “Despite our incomplete understanding of how health problems develop in damp or moldy buildings, there is sufficient scientific evidence linking mold exposure with the adverse effects described above to recommend that people not live or work in buildings with visible mold growth or persistent moldy odor.”

Los Angeles BCS company offers Non-Toxic Cleaning Products

LOS ANGELES, CA: Building Cleaning Services (BCS) (https://buildingcleaningservices.net), a Los Angeles based mold removal and post-construction cleaning company, has launched a new deep-cleaning service for new home owners, preparing them for starting their new life and memories in a clean space. Because of its years of providing toxic mold removal services, BCS knows the value of having a fresh and environmentally-friendly home or to move into.

BCS’s deep cleaning is a precise cleaning method that does not use perfumed or chemical products and uses Hepa filter vacuums. Specialized carpet and window cleaning is also recommended.

BCS provides a deep clean of home and business properties, is expert at post construction cleaning, and offers a cleaning service for houses in foreclosure.

One BCS client stated: “We hired BCS to deliver air scrubbers and to clean following an extremely dusty floor replacement project. Our business runs on a tight schedule and had to be up and running the very next day. BCS had two crews arrive at 6am just as scheduled – one to do the ‘high’ areas, and another to do the areas below 8′. We have several areas with exposed ceiling with lots of pipes and ductwork and cabinetry and the high crew did a superb job cleaning all these hard to reach areas. It is now probably cleaner than when we moved in! The low crew did a great job as well. They cleaned areas that I wouldn’t have even thought to clean.”

“Whether the property is cleaned after purchase or for purchasing, a ‘spring clean’ helps ‘renew’ the space ready to make it your own,” BCS manager, Kathy Liverance said.

BCS assists sellers and new home owners because as a professional mold removal company, it recognizes the importance of a safe and healthy environment. Its knowledge, experience and recorded client satisfaction is a boon for those moving to a new home.

Building Cleaning Services was the chosen company to handle mold infestation and damage at a government-owned facility in California. A large management agency that oversees the facility contacted BCS and secured them to address the major mold problems that had occurred as a result of roof leaks causing water damage.

The inspector was highly complementary of the meticulous containment BCS had erected to protect inhabitants from the mold and the quality of the mold remediation performed.

Building Cleaning Services has had much success as a Los Angeles mold remediation company. One of their customers stated: “We use Building Cleaning Services at the company where I work (and have been for the last few years). They are consistently great and professional.

They come on a weekly basis to clean several offices, studios and a couple bathrooms and everything is always clean. Their prices are reasonable and we have never had a problem.”

FEMA and Other Organizations are Warning Building Owners about Mold Infestations

LOS ANGELES, CA: Building Cleaning Services, (https://buildingcleaningservices.net/) a Los Angeles mold remediation and building cleaning company, has been helping building owners combat Los Angeles mold infestation for over 10 years. Data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shows why mold must not be allowed to grow to hazardous levels. Other organizations which have spoken about the dangers of mold infestation include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Occupational and Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

LOS ANGELES, CA: Building Cleaning Services (BCS), (https://buildingcleaningservices.net/) a Los Angeles mold remediation specialist-company and construction cleaning business, has been helping CA home owners with tips to conserve water by preventing water run-off that can intrude into crawl spaces and also cause mold. The company is warning homeowners to be on the watch for water intrusion into the home, especially from watering gardens or leaking faucets—use preventive measures to ensure there’s no water run-off into the property’s crawl space and check for water leaks from different indoor sources. Mold in the crawl spaces underneath a home (or into the home itself) can be particularly hazardous.

On April 1st, California Governor Brown ordered that restrictions be imposed on the use of water to combat the drought emergency. Water restriction should decrease the amount of excess water runoff. In many cases where Building Cleaning Services has been called to address a mold infestation, the cause has been traced back to a water intrusion often caused by improper watering (or from improper drainage systems to combat rain). Sprinklers which water the outside walls of a home also keep the walls wet, and ultimately may cause water seepage into the crawl spaces below a home.

California homeowners are urged to check several things in addition to water conservation steps:

– Check your home’s sprinklers to see if they spray the walls or air vents of your home, and adjust them so they don’t.

– Check the sprinkler systems to ensure there is no water runoff. If there is, get the sprinklers adjusted.

– Find out if the runoff has gone anywhere near the building’s walls.

– Turn off all of the water in your home and check your water meter reading, then check it again in half an hour. This will indicate the quantity of water which is going somewhere it shouldn’t.

If any signs of water leaks are present, homeowners should take fast action to address it. Also if signs of mold are present, such as a musty odor indoors or any visible mold in the home, action must be taken to address the mold and address the source of the water leaks in the home. Failure to do so puts the building occupants at health risk from the mold infestation, as well as allowing structural damage from the water leaks. Take fast action to address it before it becomes a bigger problem.

Building Cleaning Services has many years of experience in handling Los Angeles mold infestations. One of their clients said: “These gentlemen helped me remediate mold at my house, and then dry out a huge water leak before mold could form at my wife’s family’s house–in the span of about a month. Their service was responsive, fast, professional, and courteous. They answered any question that I had, and the pricing was transparent and understandable. I really couldn’t have been happier. They made the best out of two dicey situations.”

Building Cleaning Company Calls For Regular Building Mold Inspection

LOS ANGELES, CA: Building Cleaning Services, (https://buildingcleaningservices.net/) a general building cleaning and Los Angeles mold removal company, is informing the public of the importance of regular mold inspection to keep a building clean and safe for all occupants. The company urges the public to take fast action if water damage has occurred or any slightest suspicion exists of a mold infestation.

Mold inspection allows for a professional assessment of a building site to be done to find harmful molds which may exist. The United States Environmental Protection Agency states: “You may suspect hidden mold if a building smells moldy, but you cannot see the source, or if you know there has been water damage and residents are reporting health problems. Mold may be hidden in places such as the back side of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top side of ceiling tiles, the underside of carpets and pads, etc. Other possible locations of hidden mold include areas inside walls around pipes (with leaking or condensing pipes), the surface of walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), inside ductwork, and in roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation). Investigating hidden mold problems may be difficult and will require caution when the investigation involves disturbing potential sites of mold growth. For example, removal of wallpaper can lead to a massive release of spores if there is mold growing on the underside of the paper. If you believe that you may have a hidden mold problem, consider hiring an experienced professional.”

Buildings Cleaning Services has been in the Los Angeles mold remediation business for over 10 years. The company works tirelessly to ensure any mold damage detected by mold inspection is cleaned to complete standard of independent, air sampling and clearance-testing release. Keeping a building free of dangerous mold infestation is imperative to the health of all of a building’s occupants. The longer signs of mold infestation are ignored, the more the public is put at risk. Call for an inspection and handle any mold infestation indicated to be dangerous to public health.

One client of Building Cleaning Services receiving help in a Los Angeles mold remediation project said: “I hired BCS a few years ago, and they were great. From the crew to the back office, everyone was professional, on time, fair and friendly. They took care of our water intrusion issue and made a bad situation so much easier to handle. They actually care about their work and doing a good job. A rare find.”

It is important to understand the simple basics of what it takes for mold to grow. There are four things which, if present, can bring about mold growth. These are:

1. Mold spores:

Mold spores are everywhere in our normal environment, including at least a few inside our ceiling and wall cavities.

2. Moisture:

Roof leaks, window leaks, plumbing leaks, groundwater intrusion from patios; any of these can result in building materials getting wet. Even high humidity which results in condensation on surfaces can be sufficient for some varieties of mold to grow.

3. Food:

Food is any organic material that the mold can digest. Excellent food sources for mold include drywall paper, wallpaper paste, and MDF baseboards.

4. Air:

In the correct temperature range (many molds thrive throughout the human comfort range).
