The full effects of the area’s devastating floods may not become apparent until this summer, warns a Cowesett resident who spent most of his career working as an industrial hygienist.
Reinhardt Sidor tracked down diseases in the workplace and was the technical lead in a $10 million mold remediation project of research labs in upstate New York. He said a roof leak was eventually identified as causing the problem that had crews cleaning miles of ductwork and an estimated 2 million square feet of space over a period of 18 months before they were through.
The leak saturated ceiling tiles, which Sidor said, “was perfect food for mold.”
In the aftermath of March floods, Sidor thinks many home and business owners might face outbreaks of mold even though basements and walls are now dry.
“It doesn’t take water to grow,” Sidor said. The danger is the humid days and nights of summer when mold can extract moisture from the air and suddenly burst into life.
