Mold can be a difficult problem to overcome in the home. Mold is most often the result of excess water and humidity. It is often found in the basement after a flood or in a bathroom that doesn't have enough ventilation. It is important to properly remove mold because it can cause health problems including respiratory diseases.

Finding

Mold can grow very quickly in moist environments. If you see mold you should look for the source of it. If you've had a flood, the source is evident. If not, there may be a leaking pipe that is causing mold to grow. Not all mold is black mold. The name black mold is misleading because it is actually greenish-black in color. It is hard to distinguish black mold from other types. An expert can look at the mold and can test it to see if it is black mold. A mold remediation company is available to safely remove any mold in your home.

Removing

A mold cleanup company can inspect your home and suggest a plan of removal. It is helpful to immediately remove any wet or saturated items from the room. If the carpet is soaked you'll likely need to remove it. Mold grows best in porous materials such as drywall, carpeting, and paper. Using a mold removal product can help to reduce the mold and clean up the area if it is small. Larger or more complex mold needs to be handled by a professional cleanup company.

Keep the Area Clean and Dry

The most important thing to do once mold is removed is to keep the area clean and dry. You may need to add more ventilation. Small damp spaces such as bathrooms may require the installation of a fan. The fan will help circulate the air and reduce humidity. A dehumidifier is a good investment. It can be installed on your furnace unit and will immediately help take out excess moisture from the home. Keep a close watch on areas of concern and make sure that you clean any mold as soon as it occurs. 

Choosing Cleanup Companies

There are some tips to keep in mind when choosing cleanup companies. Choose one that offers a complete service to locate the mold and remove it completely. Look for a company that has experience working with mold. The company should have the proper gear that is used when cleaning up hazardous mold. You can expect to pay for an initial inspection and then will likely get an estimate for the complete removal of mold in your home.
