Normal Mold Removal

24 HOUR SERVICE - CALL US AT 1-800-222-6815

Do you have Mold? Is it toxic mold? Do you have water damage from a flooded basement which is causing moisture to buildup in your home or business? The moisture associated with water intrusions will promote the growth of toxic mold such as Stachybotrys, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium.

The longer an indoor contaminant is allowed to remain intact, the greater its potential impact on human health and on the structural integrity of the facility. Mold can grow on most common building materials if they remain wet for 24 to 48 hours. Special care must be taken during the mold removal and restoration process or serious health hazards can develop.

7 Tips for Effective Mold Remediation

Mold remediation is a useful skill in just about all households today since these tiny particles like it best on containers, unchecked food, and in our refrigerators. When inhaled, spores from molds can cause allergies and other health-related problems.

Molds need the presence of water to be able to grow. Moisture is therefore necessary for it to survive. The following are helpful tips for a person at home to do mold remediation and prevent mold infestation in the household.

1 Protect your hands first

It is important that before attempting to solve the problem, you have a pair of clean gloves. Since your hands will be in contact with the molds, it is best to have them protected. Mold removal starts with keeping your hands clean.

2 Locate the source

Be sure that you are able to correctly identify the area infected by the molds. In most cases, you will notice them in damp areas, under kitchen sinks, and on tiles and walls near wet places. Mold remediation is made easier when the area that is cleaned is also the main source of molds.

3 Bleach and clean the area properly

Use a scrub or brush to clean the area. Put a moderate amount of detergent and apply using a circular motion with your hands until the stains are removed. Sometimes, more than one scrubbing is needed, especially when the molds have been there for a long period of time.

4 Keep the air clean and fresh

Always remember to ventilate the area while cleaning; do not leave air conditioners running as it will possibly circulate mold residue. Failure to follow this mold remediation procedure may result in allergies due to the spores that are released. Open all the windows and doors near the area, and see to it that the air freely flows in and out of the house.

5 Cut off the mold's water supply

The secret to effective mold remediation is to cut off the water supply of these allergy-causing bodies. Once the area of mold growth has been cleaned, make sure that the area is free from any form of moisture or dampness.

6 Allow time to dry before using

There should be time for the newly-cleaned area to dry up. Allow around one to three days period before using the area. It is important to keep the place free from any form of moisture or water.

7 Dispose contaminated materials

Cardboards, paper, boxes, wood pieces, and other materials infected by molds must be disposed and sealed properly in containers such as paper bag or plastic. Floor rags and other similar contaminated cloths must not be kept inside the house. If it is possible, dry it under ultraviolet rays or simply expose it to sunlight for 6 hours.

The presence of molds in the home is impossible to eliminate since these particles are too small to be seen and are easily transported by the air around. But, through mold remediation, the effects that molds have in households can be controlled and minimized. Take some time to find and clean mold-infected areas in your living space to make your homes a cleaner place to live.
