What Not To Overlook When Dealing With Mold

6/10/2020 (Permalink)

Any home or business can quickly become infested with mold with the introduction of a water source, like a roof or plumbing leak.  Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48 hours and can produce spores acting as allergens and irritants.

Mold is an insidious and often hidden problem for your home and business.  Just spreading quickly can be unsightly, but mold does much more than that.  In fact, mold spores can cause health effects.

Cleaning up water damage in homes or businesses should happen as quickly as possible after the event.  Don't overlook these key elements during the mold remediation process:

1. Prompt mold infiltration assessment from trained professionals.
2. Use of industrial-grade water extractors, dehumidifiers, air movers and other equipment used to efficiently remove excess water.
3. Application of disinfectants and antimicrobials used to help prevent future mold growth
4. Sanitation, deodorization and air purification.
5. Efficient containment of affected area and removal of contaminated materials.
