What is Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation is the process of removing mold and preventing its regrowth. While simply removing mold from your home may feel like enough the truth is some types of mold can’t be quickly wiped up or tossed away. In fact, even bleach is not enough to properly tackle certain types of molds. This is where mold remediation comes in. Mold remediation seeks to ensure a building is free from mold as thoroughly as possible by identifying and resolving the original cause of mold. The mold remediation process usually includes:

• An assessment of the mold type
• Containment of the area
• Removal of mold
• Cleaning the air
• Sanitizing the affected area

Steps to Reduce Mold in the Home

No one should have to suffer from the dangerous health hazards associated with indoor mold. The health of you, your loved ones or your co workers is far too important to put at risk. There are a few steps you can take right now if you suspect mold of any kind in your home or office to stop the mold problem from getting worse:

• Keep humidity levels as low as possible, no higher than 50%.
• Make sure the environment is adequately ventilated by using exhaust fans or opening windows to allow fresh air in (if weather permits!)
• Fix leaks in the roof, walls or plumbing as soon as you notice them so that mold doesn’t have moisture to grow.
• Clean and dry out your home thoroughly and as fast as possible should a flood occur (whether it’s from the laundry, dish washer, pipe, etc).
• Use mold-killing products when cleaning (especially in the bathroom).
• Remove or replace carpets and upholstery that has been soaked and is not drying promptly. Also avoid using carpet in areas like bathrooms or basements that may have a lot of moisture.
