The Growing Mold Problem: Impact of Climate Change on Mold Damage Restoration
In recent years, climate change has become a significant driver of environmental challenges, impacting various industries, including water, fire, and mold damage restoration. As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, the potential for mold growth in buildings increases, posing health risks and structural concerns. Elite Restoration, a leading company in the restoration industry, is at the forefront of addressing this growing mold problem. This blog post explores the impact of climate change on mold damage restoration and how Elite Restoration is tackling these challenges.
Climate Change and Mold Growth
Climate change manifests in various ways, such as rising temperatures, increased humidity levels, and more frequent storms. These changes create favorable conditions for mold growth in buildings, particularly in areas with inadequate ventilation, moisture intrusion, or water damage. Mold thrives in damp, dark environments, making buildings susceptible to infestations after water-related incidents like floods, leaks, or high humidity levels.

As with all insurance related questions, the answer is that it depends on your coverage. Usually, though, the answer is yes. While there are some types of water damages that aren't covered by standard policies or reasons your policy might not cover the damage, if the water damage is covered by your policy the drying process will also be covered.
A good portion of water damage can be prevented by proper household maintenance. Routine plumbing maintenance, as well as sump pump and appliance maintenance, are effective ways to avoid preventable damages. If you live in a cold climate, preparing your home for the winter can also help avoid damage. Finally, it's a good idea to regularly check the exterior of your home, particularly your roof, for damage to ensure water isn't unexpectedly leaking into your home.
Seal any potential entry points, such as gaps in the roof or vents, and trim overhanging tree branches.
DIY soot removal is not recommended. Commercially available products can actually cause permanent damage to surfaces. Soot itself is primarily oil-based, but that residue also contains toxic, possibly biohazard contaminants.
Identifying the source of the water damage is one of the first steps in both the insurance claim process and before beginning to dry out and repair the damaged areas. After all, if you replace a sagging, wet ceiling that was caused by a roof leak but don't fix the roof, too, the next rainstorm will start the cycle all over again. The buckling to your hardwood floor could be caused by a leaking pipe. We will pinpoint the exact cause of your water damage and make sure the source is repaired. We make sure your restoration job is done right the first time.
We utilize a state-of-the-art blower door system that depressurizes the home and helps us track down exactly where the leaks are specifically in location. They are not where you usually think they are. Many leaks are present in the crawlspace and the attic (HVAC system included). These are the main focus areas in a weatherization job.
