Marr Construction is the Environmental
Hazards Specialist in Charlotte NC

Finding out that an environmental disturbance has infiltrated your home or business in Charlotte
can not only be devastating but harmful to you, your family or business. Depending on the type
of hazard (Mold, Asbestos or Lead), our environmental specialists will determine the proper
protocol for abating and restoring your home to safe conditions.

The more prominent environmental concerns are below:

Mold
While there are many types of mold, the most dangerous in the Carolinas can only be formed from
water damage. Needing a moisture source to grow, this mold quickly spreads infecting any and all
surfaces it can seep into. If not caught quickly enough, it will spread into HVAC systems affecting the
air a family breaths while in the home.

Once mold has begun to grow, it will continue to spread until the moisture source has been resolved.
It is critical to address any type of water damage as soon as possible.

Asbestos
Only until very recently has it become known the severe health risks associated with asbestos
exposure. Breathing in asbestos contaminated air for long periods of time can cause respiratory
problems and lung diseases such as mesothelioma, all of which are greatly increased if smoking.
If you suspect asbestos has been present in your Charlotte property, call us immediately
for a consultation.
Lead
Lead is a highly toxic metal and is all around us. It is most commonly found in paint in homes and
buildings built before 1978, however is also present in drinking water through plumbing materials.
At high levels of exposure, lead poisoning can cause seizures, coma, and even death. While
harmful to people of all ages, children under 6 are the most at risk due to their developing
brains and nervous system.
