Friends of Rockaway and New York Cares offering free mold assessment/remediation in Rockaway

Tue, 2013-01-15 06:34 — Amanda Cole

 

FriendsOfRockaway.org needs your help to spread the word to all of our family, friends, and neighbors, as well as other community activists and leaders like yourselves who can also spread the word.

As community leaders, it's crucial we advise Rockaway residents to not rush and build their walls back until they use this amazing opportunity for a free assessment before they will rebuild potentially over mold or wet surfaces.

Mold & Mildew

Cleaning Up Your Flood-Damaged Home

FEMA 606/July 2007

The Problem With Mold

Mildew and molds are fungi - simple microscopic organisms that thrive anywhere there is a moist environment. Molds are a necessary part of the environment; without them, leaves would not decay and aspects of soil enrichment could not take place. It is their ability to destroy organic materials that makes mold a problem for people.

Mildew (mold in its early stages) and molds grow on wood products, ceiling tiles, cardboard, wallpaper, carpets, drywall, fabric, plants, foods, insulation, decaying leaves and other organic materials. Mold colonies can start to grow on a damp surface within 24 to 48 hours. They reproduce via spores - tiny, lightweight ìseedsî- that travel through the air. Molds digest organic material, eventually destroying the material they grow on, and then spread to destroy adjacent organic material. In addition to the damage molds can cause in your home, they can also cause mild to severe health problems. See the Health Problems From Mold section to check for possible mold related health problems.

Cleaning  Up  After  a  Flood:  Using  the  Right  Dust  Mask

Fri, 2012-11-23 22:44 — Albert Gomez

Cleaning  Up  After  a  Flood:  Using  the  Right  Dust  Mask   Do  I  need  a  dust  mask  when  cleaning  up  and  removing  debris?  

When  working  with  dust,  such  as  removing  and  cutting  wallboard/sheetrock  and  other   building  materials,  sweeping  up  debris  or  removing  mold mask,  especially poor  or  no  ventilation  or  the  work   creates  very  fine  dust.

Thanksgiving Day 2012
Driving back to my home that I left over three weeks ago, I pass trees and familiar landscapes that I have seen a thousand times, and see them today like I have seen them for the first time.
