ARC Restoration addresses mold health risks after water damage in Denver homes

DENVER, CO – November 24, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

ARC Restoration, a Denver-based disaster cleanup and restoration company, reports that children under five and adults over 65 are three times more likely to experience mold-related health complications following water damage than the general population. The company has implemented specific response protocols to address these increased vulnerabilities in Colorado homes.

Health data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that mold exposure following water damage can trigger respiratory infections, asthma attacks and allergic reactions, with vulnerable populations experiencing more severe symptoms. Children's developing immune systems and older residents' pre-existing medical conditions increase their susceptibility to mold-related illnesses.

“Mold growth begins within 24 to 48 hours of water damage occurring,” said Chris Barnett, operations manager at ARC Restoration. “For households with young children or elderly residents, rapid intervention is critical to prevent exposure to mold spores, which can cause long-term respiratory complications.”

The company reports that the most common water damage scenarios in Denver include burst pipes during winter freezes, basement flooding due to spring snowmelt, and appliance failures. Each incident requires specific remediation approaches to combat moisture intrusion and prevent the spread of mold.

ARC Restoration Water Damage Restoration Denver services include industrial-grade water extraction equipment, professional drying systems, and EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments. The remediation process includes comprehensive moisture detection, structural drying and air quality testing to ensure complete remediation of the affected areas.

Mold spores released after water damage can remain indoors and affect air quality throughout the home. Children exposed to mold can develop chronic respiratory problems, while older residents are at increased risk of pneumonia and other complications. Professional renovation eliminates both visible damage and hidden moisture that promotes mold growth behind walls or under floor coverings.

“Moisture trapped in building materials creates ideal conditions for mold to spread,” Barnett added. “Professional moisture detection devices identify water intrusion points that homeowners may miss, preventing future mold growth and protecting indoor air quality.”

The restoration industry has developed containment protocols to prevent cross-contamination during cleanup operations. These measures protect unaffected areas from mold spore migration while remediation teams tackle water-damaged sections of property.

ARC Restoration's Denver water damage restoration includes coordination with insurance providers to document damage and expedite claim processing. The company has 24-hour emergency response capabilities to address water damage throughout the Denver metropolitan area.

Current industry statistics show that a delayed response to water damage increases cleanup costs by an average of 40 percent and significantly extends project timelines. Professional remediation services reduce these impacts through immediate response and systematic remediation procedures.

ARC Restoration provides disaster cleanup and restoration services throughout Denver and surrounding communities, including water containment, mold removal, fire damage restoration and biohazard remediation. The company services both residential and commercial properties, using industry-certified techniques and advanced technology to restore properties to pre-loss condition.
