Lead Abatement Services:

Many homes and schools built before 1978 will have some lead-based paint on the interiors and/or exteriors. It can also be found on playground equipment, boats, and bridges. Exposure to lead can cause brain damage, especially in children and pregnant women. The most common cause of exposure is from the dust generated when you sand lead-based paint or when the paint chips or peels with age. Since lead paint is most deteriorated on the exterior of houses, the chips often find their way into window sills and the soil surrounding the building.

DMC provides complete lead remediation services for residential and commercial properties. We have more than 20 licensed Supervisors/Workers in our team.

Mold Remediation Services:

Mold has been around since the beginning of time. While mold plays a positive role in making foods like cheese and producing drugs like penicillin, some molds can be harmful if found in excess in an indoor environment. The conditions that we live in are similar to those that mold grows in–low light, little air movement, and temperatures at 68-86°F. Airtight buildings contribute to high mold growth. Of course, buildings that have, or have had, moisture problems/leaks are at a higher risk of having excessive mold. Mold breaks down organic matter and its food sources are items such as carpet, wood, paper, drywall, paneling, and ceiling tiles.

As mentioned, not all molds are toxic but it is wise to be cautious and realize the potential for toxicity as serious. Prudent public health practice indicates removal through clean up (remediation) as quickly as possible.

DMC team and work force are trained in mold remediation activities and have extensive experience in Mold Management. We are well versed in the cleanup of indoor air contamination in mold-contaminated structures and have performed this type of work in all building structures, including but not limited to schools, hotels, government and office buildings, and retail facilities.
