As a commercial business owner, you may be concerned about the costs associated with biohazard cleanup services. However, many insurance policies do cover this type of service, especially if it is deemed necessary for the health and safety of your employees and customers. Our team at ServiceMaster Restore is experienced in working with insurance companies and can assist you in filing a claim.
ServiceMaster Restore’s water damage specialists will evaluate moisture content in your ceiling areas to determine the severity of the damage. They may also have to remove some of your ceiling for ventilation purposes. Wet insulation inside the ceiling can also be a hazard and therefore may also need to be removed.
Black mould (Statchybotrys chartarum) is greenish-black in colour and grows in conditions where there is an excessive amount of moisture over a long period of time. Water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks and condensation in small, damp places like bathrooms all create a perfect breeding ground for black mould. Black mould releases microtoxins, a noxious substance that can cause serious health problems for humans and pets.
