EE&G Construction is a general contracting firm that offers restoration and remediation work through its sister companies, EE&G Environmental Services and EE&G Restoration Services. One of the most common services EE&G Construction provides is cleanup after disasters such as hurricanes.Hurricanes leave massive destruction, both to the natural landscape and to affected houses. In many cases, professionals need to examine a home to determine how to approach cleanup and recovery. Homeowners can do some things on their own to get started. First, they need safety gear, including a hard hat, goggles, respirator masks, gloves, protective eyewear, and waterproof and steel-toed boots. Homeowners can air out the house by opening windows and doors and placing fans to blow out moist air. Items such as mattresses, carpets, and most upholstered furniture will have to be thrown away. Some plastic toys and other plastic items can be kept as long as they are thoroughly disinfected, but plush toys such as stuffed animals should be discarded. Bigger issues, such as mold, will likely require professional help.EE&G Construction has specialized tools and the knowledge to determine which parts of the home are salvageable and which will have to be replaced.
Florida-based EE&G Construction operates two sister firms, EE&G Environmental Services and EE&G Restoration Services, which specialize in restoration and remediation work. EE&G Construction also performs indoor air-quality testing to determine mold levels. A number of factors can lead to bad indoor air quality. Some of the factors are structural in nature, such as radon or asbestos in building materials. Others factors have to do with the composition of the air, such as the presence of carbon monoxide. Other common causes of bad indoor air quality include vapors from cleaning products, the presence of mold, dust/dander, rodent feces, and exhaust from furnaces that are not properly vented. In addition to the health benefits, clean indoor air can contribute to lower energy costs and increase the overall comfort level. EE&G Construction has years of experience in indoor air quality testing and can quickly determine problem areas, develop a plan of action, and solve the problem.
