Molds
Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores infiltrate through the indoor and outdoor continually. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on.
Asbestos
Asbestos is a name for a group of six naturally occurring fibrous minerals that are heat and fire resistant. Because of their nature, they were commonly woven into products like insulation, plaster, ceiling tile, floor tile, roofing, and other building materials.
Some Asbestos Areas of Concern in Commerical Buildings
Water Damage Categories
Category 1 Water Damage
Is defined as “Water originating from a source that does not pose substantial harm to humans. Category 1 water is also referred to as ‘clean water.’” In other words, this water is considered sanitary.
Category 2 Water Damage
Is defined as “Water containing a significant degree of chemical, biological and/or physical contamination and having the potential to cause discomfort or sickness if consumed by or exposed to humans.” When listed as Category 2 water damage, the water is considered significantly contaminated since it contains microorganisms and nutrients for microorganisms. It may also be called “grey water.”
Category 3 Water Damage
Is defined as “Grossly unsanitary water containing pathogenic agents, arising from sewage or other contaminated water sources and having the likelihood of causing discomfort or sickness if consumed or exposed to humans.” Category 3 water damage is considered grossly contaminated. It may also be called “black water.”
