Easy steps to follow to cleanup and restore a property from mold growth or learn when to call in a professional company. Simple and straightforward advice on how to deal with unwelcomed mold growth in your home or business. There are some basic steps to help you identify problem areas and learn when you need to call in an expert. Molds have the potential to be a very harmful substance if it starts to form in your home. Mold can grow in a short period of time if the right conditions are present (moisture and the appropriate food source). Don’t worry there are techniques to clean and ways to prevent the formation of mold. If you happen to find mold in your home it’s not always going to be black mold. The first step in determining the appropriate cleanup plan is identifying the moisture source. If you fail to properly fix a broken pipe, basement leak or other moisture source your mold problem will not go away. Determining whether or not to try and clean up the mold in your property can be aided by identifying the size and area that the mold is growing in. As a general rule of thumb, areas under twenty square feet can be cleaned without calling a professional restoration or remediation firm. If there happens to be a serious case of mold in your home you should immediately contact a specialist. The longer you wait the higher of risk it could harm people’s health as mold spores can often find their ways into the breathing system. In cases where there is a large mold growth or appearance of toxic black mold, a restoration firm will likely request that a bio technician perform a mold growth report for the assistance of creating a remediation plan. In cases where there is severe mold growth certain items may need to be removed from the home as they may be beyond salvage or cleaning. Black mold is often considered the most dangerous type of mold that can grow in a home or business as the spores are more likely to cause breathing irritation. One of the large challenges for preventing mold growth is the ability for it to grow quickly on a number of food sources in you home including: lint, ceiling tiles, concrete, carpets, wood, and drywall. One of the best defenses against mold growth is the sense of smell. Areas that are wet for an extended period of time will likely lead to a mildew growth, which will emit a musty odor and could signal the possibility of mold growth. Mold that grows in your shower or kitchen areas from excess moisture can be cleaned with household cleaners that will effectively remove the spores from the surface areas. Household bleach will discolor the mold and kill mold, but will not thoroughly remove this from surface levels. The best advice in dealing with mold is to contact a professional restoration firm for an assessment if there are any concerns regarding the appropriate remediation and for assistance in identifying the moisture source.
