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.

General Information on Mold Removal

Being an important part of the environment's natural cycle, molds help in the breakdown of organic matter. While they may be beneficial in the outside environment, molds are considered hazardous "pests" inside the house. Molds multiply through their spores, which could be airborne and unseen by the naked eye. They usually attach themselves to humid and wet areas because this is their natural and typical habitat.

Molds could cause health problems especially if the mold spores have found their way into the human body through the nose or the mouth. Inhalation of molds could cause sneezing, allergies, eye irritation and rashes among other serious health problems.

While it may be hard and difficult to eradicate molds from the surroundings, its growth and spread could be prevented by keeping things and enclosed areas totally dry, because molds cannot thrive without the presence of moisture. A mold removal procedure necessitates or requires that the source of moisture or wetness is completely fixed. If the source of moisture comes from a leaking pipe or gutter, then this should be fixed immediately.

When doing mold removal activities, it is advisable to wear proper gear or cleaning attire that includes goggles, a face mask and gloves. As mentioned earlier, mold spores could cause a lot of health related problems that may weaken the immune system, so it is vital that one wears the right protective gear for mold removal tasks.

In cases where flooding or sewage damage has occurred, the first step to do is have an initial assessment of the damage. Damage in these instances could also be termed as losses since some of the items are irreparable and many of these items are expensive and are in fact, considered investments.

After assessment, it is time to proceed with the processes that will lead to mold removal. First, it is important to remove the water as soon as possible in order to reduce the extent of the damage, and to hasten the restoration process. Water removal requires necessary equipment like a sump pump or a wet vacuum pump to extract the water out. Then continue with mold removal by cleaning the affected areas and items thoroughly. Usually brushing the area that contains mold with a detergent will do the trick. Rinse everything thoroughly and prepare to disinfect and then dry the area.

Disinfecting the affected items or the affected area however, does not mean having totally eliminated the mold spores. What it really means is that by applying the necessary sanitizing agent, it prevents the spread or infection and arrests the continuous growth of the molds. Drying everything thoroughly is the number one objective or aim of mold removal. Because if water or moisture is not present it consequently means that molds are absent.

The treatment of molds is normally done and implemented a couple of times especially if the molds are stubborn and reappear even after cleaning has been done. Patience and diligence in the cleaning and disinfecting is necessary when mold removal procedures are implemented. Once molds reappear, the mold removal procedures which were done recently should be repeated. Better yet, call the professionals to do the mold removal process to ensure that such health hazard will not manifest itself again.
