Irvine Handyman Helps Homeowners Resolve Moisture and Mold Damage
Orange County, CA (PRWEB) July 19, 2013 -- All In 1 Handyman, owner Steve Bowman has learned, letting a leak go can become a real problem for homeowners. Steve has been busy in Irvine and Newport Beach resolving water damage and cleaning up mildew and mold in walls. “Homeowners get leaks behind an appliance or under the sink, hidden from your sight line giving time for the water to cause damage to the walls and floors. This allows time for mildew and even mold spores to grow,” says Steve. Mold contributes to structural damage as well as unhealthy indoor air quality.
A study by the Institute of Medicine revealed there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms. These symptoms include coughing and wheezing in otherwise healthy people. A link was also found between indoor mold growth and respiratory illness in healthy children. The Environmental Protection Agency, EPA reports mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people.
Resolving moisture problems is crucial to mold control. All In 1 Handyman was called to a home in Irvine to resolve a slow leak behind the dishwasher. Over time, water had accumulated into the cabinets. Steve was able to identify the source of the leak. He tracked the water damage into the cabinets, where he found water damage to the bottom of the cabinets and the presence of mold. All In 1 Handyman had to remove the bottom section of the cabinets and treat the mold growth. The bottom of the cabinets were rebuilt and installed.
All In 1 Handyman also recently repaired drywall due to a shower leak in an Irvine home that had mold growth. This home had an upstairs shower that was leaking into the downstairs bathroom. Water damage and mold growth was found in the shower, drain and drywall. A section of drywall was removed so the wall could be opened up and dried out. It was then treated with a mildew removal solution for 3 days. All In 1 Handyman then replaced two sections of drywall, textured and then finished up with painting.
Most homeowners can find water and mold damage is covered under their homeowner’s insurance policy and should check with their insurance company; this type of problem should be resolved quickly for the health of the family and ensure everyone is breathing clean and healthy air.
