Hurricane Sandy Clean Up Efforts Reveal Large Number of Mold, Lead, and Asbestos Ridden Homes

With New York City in the midst of recovering from Hurricane Sandy clean up and repair efforts, many homes, buildings, and other types of properties have been found to have toxic mold growing, asbestos in materials being ripped out to be replaced, and lead in numerous building components. Most of New York City's buildings and homes are very old and were built with substandard building practices and building materials. These older buildings typically have building products that have toxic building components such as flooring, ceilings, paints, pipes, pipe insulation, plaster, roofing materials, along with many other building materials.

With Hurricane Sandy leaving a path of devastation and destruction, the flooding alone caused by this super storm has ultimately brought to light the environmental crisis residents of New York City now have to contend with along with the current toxic mold crisis that is plaguing NYC.

One of the City's oldest and most prestigious environmental service provider, EntireEnviro, a subsidiary business of Five Boro Mold Specialist Inc., has recently started to provide lead testing and lead removal, asbestos testing and asbestos removal, radon testing, on top of their existing main service business of mold inspection and mold removal. A spokesperson for EntireEnviro recently stated, "Hurricane Sandy was and still is a haunting reminder of how vulnerable we all are when it comes to natural disasters. What is even worse is the fact that New York City is an old, low lying coastal area that is surrounded by water on all sides. This super storm has been and still is to this very day, a sobering reality check for all of us New Yorkers. We are all currently susceptible to numerous toxic hazards, bacteria, and other very unhealthy living conditions as toxic mold, raw sewage, gasoline and diesel fuel, asbestos, lead, and other toxic substances were all mixed in with the flood waters of Hurricane Sandy. This has prompted our company to revamp our mold removal and disinfecting protocols, along with inspiring us to go ahead and get back into lead and asbestos removal as part of our full line of certified and professional environmental services".

The amount of hazardous and toxic substances currently all over NYC can be substantiated by all of the different types of relief efforts individuals, businesses, non profits, religious institutions, emergency services, along with local, state, and federal aid and assistance efforts. As summer is just getting "warmed up", there have been numerous reports of varying sicknesses caused directly from the contaminated and toxic materials people all over NYC are exposed to every single day.
