In some water damage situations,
like those that involve sewage, microbes present can include a variety
of disease-causing human viruses and parasites, in addition to bacteria
and fungi. When waterborne contaminants (fungal, bacteria, viral,
algae) are present in the building environment, they can become
airborne during the drying process and spread to previously unaffected
areas within the building. Obviously, it is important to choose a
restoration contractor that knows what they are doing. J&M Keystone
works with administrators, facilities managers as well as infectious
disease control personnel to provide a healthy and safe environment
during any water damage clean up or remediation project. We routinely
perform sensitive services in surgical settings and sterile
environments. We understand your concerns as well as OSHPD′s (The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development), and work hard to protect you and your patients.
A
new study published in the June 07 Edition of the Indoor Air Journal
came to the conclusion that wherever dampness existed in buildings in
the analysis, the risk of a variety of respiratory and asthma related health outcomes increased by as much as half. This research was conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy.
With this being the case, what could be more high risk then having the
very same elements present in your building that hundreds of patients
are visiting for help from these elements?
Indoor air quality assurance is a must for such high profile buildings as a hospital or health care facility. J&M Technicians are trained to protect our client hospitals, their staffs and their patients
by moisture mapping the path of the water damage or the growth spread
of a mold remediation situation. We build all necessary containment
barriers and set up air scrubbers to limit and control any potential
cross contamination from the rest of the unaffected facility. With the help of an Environmental Hygienist, J&M can safely, efficiently and timely restore the affected building to its pre-loss condition.
In
addition to our emergency services; water and fire damage, mold
remediation, reconstruction, we offer our client healthcare facilities
large scale commercial carpet cleaning and pressure washing services.
