Moldy Basement in Winslow, IN

There was a moldy situation in Winslow, IN, that was a bit different than the rest of the job sites we have been to before.  A preschool reached out to us in hopes of creating a safe and clean place for the children to play. There was mold on all corners and walls of the basement, mainly located on the bottom.  It is beneficial to remove the mold before any health problems occur.  When mold spores find the right combination of temperature, food source, and moisture - they grow. Some mold spores produce a chemical byproduct called mycotoxins, which can affect our respiratory systems and can make us sick. If mycotoxins are produced, they can sometimes be detected by their musty signature smell.  The airflow of the basement would need to be dry for mold spores to vanish. 

All mold in the basement was scrubbed and sprayed away through mold remediation. To protect the walls and brighten the basement, BrightWall paneling was installed on all walls of the basement. Brightwall gives it that clean, semi-finished touch. The TripleSafe sump pump was put in to pump out any water that enters the basement, along with a Waterguard system to direct water to the sump pump.  A big dehumidifier, called the SaniDry Sedona, was plugged in to create a continuous airflow throughout the basement. The homeowner was relieved to know that their preschool would be safe for future days and mold-free!
