"Altek drained out our crawl space, installed a new sump pump and encapsulated our entire crawl space adding a dehumidifier. They completed that in 4 and a half days. They showed up on time and were very professional. The project manager checked in always in person and by calling. I always got a summary at the end of each day on where they are at. I definitely recommend this company, the service was great. We are very happy."

"????? Our home flooded during the recent disaster in KY, and Justin and his team at Carolina Disaster Mitigation and Restoration were incredible. They responded promptly, were respectful, and supported us throughout the entire process. Their pricing was more affordable compared to every other company we called, and their 13+ years of experience truly showed in their work. They handled the muck out, tear out, and drying efficiently and professionally. Highly recommend them to anyone in need of restoration services!"

Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.

Many types of mold spores and fungi spores are constantly present in the air, but they need a friendly surface and moisture to grow. Should some of these spores land on paper or wood with significant moisture present—such as drywall with a paper cover that is soaking up water from a leak—mold or fungi could begin growing. Dampness from leaky pipes, condensation on windows, leaks in a roof, flooding in a basement, or high, prolonged humidity in a small area all can create the excess moisture that mold and fungi need to grow in your home.

Some causes of brown well water—like excess tannins or dissolved iron—don’t pose a health risk. In other cases, harmful bacteria might be the culprit. If your well water has suddenly turned brown, it’s a good idea to use a home water test kit to get a better sense of what’s going on with your water. Consider calling a professional for an expert opinion before drinking the water and hoping for the best.

The negatives of a humidifier are the potential for mold growth due to high humidity levels, the up-front cost, and the energy requirements to run it. Depending on the state of humidity in your home, you may not actually see lower utility bills due to the humidifier running on a near-constant basis. 

If you notice water accumulating in your vent due to a roof or plumbing leak above your ductwork, it's essential to promptly identify the source of the leak and undertake any required repairs without delay. Such leaks have the potential to swiftly result in water damage within your home, ultimately leading to mold and mildew concerns.
