INDOOR AIR QUALITY - MOLD/MILDEW
Coughing, headache, runny nose and eye irritation are some of the symptoms
associated with a condition called "Sick Building Syndrome". Sick Building Syndrome may
be attributed
to many factors including poor ventilation, improper HVAC (heating/air
conditioner) settings or
installation, water intrusions, microbial
contaminants (mold/bacteria) and volatile organic compounds.
Mold and Bacteria can greatly reduce the quality of the air we breathe.
Amplifications of mold indoors can contribute to various toxigenic effects
that may have a negative impact on the inhabitants of a building. Recognition is the first step to reducing hazards
and restoring a safe and healthy environment.
Phoenix Enviro, Corp. employees are trained and experienced in
investigative and testing procedures, recognizing microbial hazards, and determining
corrective actions related to indoor air quality issues.
 
Mold growth can occur in numerous locations such as
behind walls, on drop ceilings and within carpeting.
Water intrusion promotes mold growth in
ceiling tile.
