What's the Harm?
Up until the 1970’s, asbestos was utilized in homes and buildings for various uses including insulation and roof patching. It was later learned that asbestos was a dangerous carcinogen.
It’s also been proven that any lengthened exposure to asbestos can be harmful to your health. Breathing any released asbestos fibers can lodge in the lungs and cause scarring. Over time, this could potentially lead to cancer in the lungs.

Mold Remediation
Initial Identification
When abnormal amounts of water and moisture are present in a home, secondary damage begins to occur almost immediately and continues to increase with each passing minute. Secondary damage is damage that occurs because of, but is not a direct result of, the primary damage. It is caused by elevated humidity levels and occurs as materials in the home begin to absorb moisture from the air or standing water.
Mold is a prime example of secondary damage from a prior flood. The paper backing on your sheetrock combined with elevated moisture levels (60% Relative Humidity or above) and warm temperature (80 Degrees Fahrenheit or above) make a perfect environment for mold to begin growing.
Our Response
Moisture control is the key to mold control. Proper and thorough drying performed quickly can save thousands of dollars in secondary damage. When there is a water problem, whether it is a slow leak, burst pipe, rising water, sewage backup or from some other source, getting the water and moisture out of your home should be done as quickly as possible. Time is very important.
Using the latest in in mold remediation technology, we get to the heart of the problem and work out from there until the premise is remediated. Trust the experience of ABK and the latest in remediation solutions that consider your health as its primary concern.
