How Do I Know I Have Mold?

While seeing mold is an obvious sign of mold growing in your house, there are some symptoms of mold growth you may not be aware of.

Some signs of mold growth in your home include:

• Increased indoor allergies
• Musty odors throughout the home
• Peeling wallpaper or paint
• Water damage
• Dark, colored spots on your walls, floors, or ceilings

Often, mold infamously goes undetected for long periods and will require a professional mold inspection to pinpoint the affected areas.

What Kills Black Mold on Wood?

One of the most popular ways to kill black mold on wood is with bleach and water using a 1-to-1 bleach to water solution. Spray directly on the affected area and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping off any excess liquid and rinsing thoroughly with clean water.

Another option is using an antifungal or antimicrobial cleaner specifically designed for killing black mold spores; these products generally come in aerosol cans which make them easy to use directly on the surface of infected wood pieces. If you don't want to take on this type of mold cleanup on your own, our mold remediators will do it for you, safely and efficiently!

When is Mold Remediation Required?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims that if the mold growth is less than 10 square feet (approximately 3 feet by 3 feet), you can remove the infestation using a combination of household cleaners, dishwashing detergent, or distilled white vinegar and warm water. However, if the moldy area is more than 10 square feet or the type of mold you are dealing with is toxic black mold, you must obtain professional mold remediation services.

What is Involved With Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation is the process of identifying, removing, sanitizing and restoring a space affected by mold growth of any kind.

• 1. The process involves mold remediation specialists in protective gear arriving at the affected location and removing porous material with mold that can’t be cleaned and treating remaining surfaces to prevent re-growth.
• 2. The hazardous, mold-infested material is placed in sealed bags or containers and removed from the space. Non-porous surfaces that can be cleaned are cleaned and thoroughly disinfected.
• 3. The entire affected space is then treated with antimicrobial remediation techniques designed to sanitize and kill any remaining mold or bacteria.
• 4. The final step is typically to cover the affected area with a coating that contains and encapsulates any remaining mold spores so that the growth cannot start up again or spread.

When dealing with potentially toxic mold, it’s best to leave its removal to trained experts like the technicians at ServiceMaster.

How Long Does Mold Remediation Take?

Most mold remediation projects can be completed in 7 days, and some can take several weeks. The length of time it takes to complete the remediation process depends on several variables, including:

• Severity of the problem: more severe cases will naturally require greater attention and take longer to remediate.
• Size of the affected area: larger areas will require more substantial treatments, which can add extra time to the process.
• Professional services: In some cases, additional professional services such as demolition and reconstruction may be required to eliminate all traces of the mold.
