Mold is the ugly, unwanted guest that you want nowhere on your property and especially not in proximity to you and your loved ones. While small amounts of mold can be successfully treated without assistance, pervasive, extensive mold requires professional treatment. This is when mold remediation is needed to remove the mold and prevent it from coming back.
When Remediation is Needed
For a little mold around a tub, a homeowner can easily take care of the issue. However, when mold is covering large areas like walls, basements and more, or if you’re encountering strong and musty odors, remediation is warranted. Also, the presence of excessive humidity and past moisture problems, which may have resulted in undetected mold growth, call for professional mold removal.
If you or any of your family members suffer from asthma, allergies or other breathing issues, mold removal is needed as soon as possible to prevent any health issues. When there are babies, toddlers or elderly persons in your household, they could be even more sensitive to the effects of mold.
Steps of Mold Removal
The first step of mold remediation is assessing the situation and determining the cause of mold. Mold can be caused by a previous or current water leak, increased moisture, plumbing problems, flooding and more. Testing and sampling will be done to determine the type of mold and the best method of removing it. Professionals can employ a wide range of techniques and advanced equipment to remove mold safely and successfully.
The professionals can also eliminate the root causes of the mold to prevent it from coming back, as well as educate the homeowner on everything he or she needs to know about mold.
