New Jersey Shore Residents May Find Unwanted Mold Guests When Opening Summer Vacation Homes
New Jersey has had a considerably wet season for the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010. The large amount of snow, heavy rains and frozen water pipes that have bursted will likely have caused water damage to properties along the NJ shore and throughout the tri-state area in general. In addition, shore properties with water damage that have been closed for several months could really cause headaches for returning property owners wanting to get their homes ready for the 2010 shore rental season. 'Although damage from water alone can be costly, once mold begins to grow in a property the costs and repercussions can quickly escalate. In most indoor environments it takes as little as 24 to 48 hours for mold to begin to grow on wet building materials. Due to this fact it is important to immediately stop the source of any water or excessive humidity and to dry the property as quickly as possible. Wet materials need to be addressed right away.', states Mark Stern, President of NAL East Environmental Services. 'Amplification of mold can occur easier in homes and buildings with water damage that have been closed for an extended period of time. Mold in buildings can lead to a variety of different health issues. Mold spores can present a health hazard to humans by potentially causing allergic reactions and when present in large quantities they can cause other types of respiratory problems. They can even cause infections. Several procedures can be followed to mitigate mold problems in homes and buildings, however most keys are to reduce the moisture levels that can cause the mold growth. Removal of affected materials after the source of moisture has been eliminated may be necessary for proper remediation.
