East Tennessee’s Commercial Mold Removal Specialists

East Tennessee has had a very wet winter this year, and with lots of rain comes the risk of mold. Mold can thrive in wet conditions, creating a nasty mess that can spread through your business. Luckily, the staff at Mold Doctors USA is experienced in commercial mold removal and remediation and can help get your business back on track in no time.

I think my business has mold. What are the first steps I should take?

Initially, Mold Doctors USA will perform mold assessments to test for mold in your business. The moisture and humidity levels will be measured and then adjusted to a level that will reduce mold growth. If mold is found in the business, we will work to contain the mold and keep it from spreading to other parts of the building. Depending on the range and severity of the mold that is found in the business, we will use filtration equipment and our cleaning product MoldRX to kill any remaining mold spores in the business and prevent any new mold from growing.

Will my employees and customers be affected by commercial mold removal?

Mold Doctors USA will work to keep anyone from being exposed to mold or any other potential hazards during the removal process. Safety and loss of productivity are our top concerns and we will work to make sure that your business can maintain a normal work flow during the remediation process.

How can I learn more about the commercial mold removal process?

Call us at 865-945-3000 or click here to fill out our form. We will contact you as soon as possible to start the process. We look forward to speaking with you soon!

Are you throwing your money away to Pest Control companies for fungus treatments?

Fungus Treatments Do Not Kill Mold

There is an EPIDEMIC hitting the East Tennessee market! Homeowners are paying for fungus treatments and expecting the fungus, aka, mold – to be gone. Guess what – fungus treatments do NOT kill mold and it will absolutely come back!

Look For Mold Removal Certifications

Think of it this way. If you are a realtor, you pay to stay accredited and attend CE classes to maintain your real estate license. If you are a nurse, you went to nursing school.  Same for the mold remediation industry. We attended classes, took courses, had to pass them, and stay current for our industry.  We have certifications! Pest companies do not have any certifications to remove mold. They also are not protecting your most valuable asset, your home or business!

Mold Can Cross-Contaminate

Mold is also known as fungus, microbial growth, dust on floor joists, growth in the crawlspace or basement, etc. If mold remediation is not handled properly, it can cross-contaminate your house or business and make a small problem a much larger issue.

Are Chronic Illnesses Associated with Mold and Mycotoxins?

Health Problems Linked to Mold & Water Damage

Exposure to water-damaged buildings has been associated with numerous health problems that include asthma, fungal sinusitis, chronic fatigue, abnormalities in T and B cells, central and peripheral neuropathy, sarcoidosis, and respiratory infections.

Myotoxins, Mold, & Water Damage

Mycotoxins produced by several species of mold have been identified in water-damaged indoor environments. They have been detected in the sera, urine, and tissues of individuals with illness associated with exposure to microbes in the contaminated environments. Whereas species of Aspergillus and Penicillium have been demonstrated in the nasal cavity and sinuses of an individual.  Various studies have been done and mold has been found in many chronically ill individuals.  The effects of mold and mycotoxins on the body are very real and need to be taken seriously.  Mold Doctors USA understands the importance of proper mold remediation and stays current with new findings in our industry.

Could Mold Exposure be Affecting Your Health?

You may be one of the many people unknowingly living with or working around toxic mold.

Toxic Mold Signs and Symptoms

Most people are unaware that their home or workplace could be the breeding ground to their symptoms. In fact, it’s estimated that indoor pollutants, including toxic mold, are at a concentration of 2 to 5 times higher than that of the pollutants found outdoors and contributes to more than 50% of patients’ illnesses!

By far, the most common health issue caused by mold is an allergy. Mold-related allergic reactions include:

  • Coughing
  • Wheezing
  • Red, itchy, and watery eyes
  • Runny nose
  • Rash

If you’re someone who already has chronic or seasonal allergies, or suffers from a respiratory condition such as asthma or COPD, your allergic reaction to mold may be much more significant. These worsened allergic symptoms can cause:

  • Persistent coughing
  • Frequent chest cold
  • Headaches
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Sinus inflammation
  • Fatigue and lethargy

In cases of long-term toxic mold exposure, this may lead to more serious symptoms such as:

  • Poor memory and confusion
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Tingling and numbness in your hands and feet
  • Appetite swings and weight gain
  • Increased thirst
  • Hair loss
  • Metallic taste in your mouth
  • Abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea
  • Muscle cramps
  • Joint pain
  • Anxiety
  • Lightheadedness
  • Difficulty concentrating
