If you believe mold has taken hold of your home or property, you need a professional mold restoration company to stop the problem before things get a lot worse. Here is what you need to know about mold, mold remediation and the importance of a professional response.
Mold can wreak havoc in your home and property if allowed to spread unchecked. Not only can it cause property damage and damage to storage, but moldy musty locations can have negative effects on your health as well.
If you have noticed a musty of earthy smell coming from somewhere within your home or business, you could be experiencing a mold problem. Mold can grow anywhere once there is sufficient moisture to initiate germination of microscopic spores that can be found on all surfaces.
In homes, mold can grow on drywall, insulation, carpets, windows tills and woodwork. Mold can be especially dangerous to human health if those mold spores are inhaled in high quantities. Prolonged exposure to moldy conditions can result in nerve damage, brain damage, pulmonary edema, hay fever and more.
A professional Mold Restoration Company has the skills, equipment and experience to effectively control the mold and restore the specific location.
WHAT CAUSES MOLD GROWTH?
Mold only needs a small amount of moisture to support the growth and expansion of a large colony. This moisture can come from flooding, pipe leaks, poor ventilation, malfunctioning air conditioners, improperly sealed surfaces and many other irregularities that allow water to pass where it should not be.
If sufficient water is added to the right spot, it will take a professional mold remediation company to ensure that the danger to home and health has been properly eliminated.

HOW IS MOLD REMOVED?
There are important procedures and methods of mold removal that must be carried out by trained professionals from a certified Mold Remediation to be fully-effective.
The first step is a thorough cleaning and drying the affected area and applying proper disinfectants and cleaning agents to lift and remove as much of the mold as possible. After this the dry surface will be thoroughly vacuumed with a special HEPA-filtered vacuum to ensure the last vestiges of the moldy menace are effectively removed.
Mold spreads very quickly due to the airborne spores that can be scattered far and wide. If you see mold in your home this is typically a sign of a much larger mold presence. It is important to take action to prevent the spread of mold
