What to Do If You Need Mold Remediation

Trust The Twin Home Experts, 30 Years Experience

Mold is a fact of life. It grows everywhere that moisture can be found, both inside and outdoors. In a home, the most common areas for mold growth are bathrooms, kitchens, and damp basements, although it can also grow in other areas.

If you’re noticing mold growth in the grout between the tiles of your bathroom, on the ceiling, or in cupboards, the problem may be deeper than it appears. Treating the surface won’t remedy the situation; in fact, it can make it worse. To fully rid your home of mold, it might be necessary to hire a mold remediation specialist.

What Is Mold Remediation?

Simply put, it’s the practice of removing mold and cleaning and sanitizing the area to prevent additional mold growth. It may include removing porous materials like drywall, floorboards, carpeting, and other contaminated items. The process of mold remediation follows some very specific steps:

Containment and Ventilation – A mold remediation specialist will determine where the mold is located and contain the area to minimize any additional contamination. Within the contained area, an air scrubber or other filtration device is deployed to capture any airborne mold spores before they spread to other areas.
Removing Moldy Materials – Once the mold has been contained, the next step is removing any infected materials from the area. This must be done very carefully and protective clothing and masks are a must. Moldy materials should be placed inside heavy trash bags and properly disposed of.
Disinfecting the Area – After the porous materials have been removed from the space, it can be thoroughly disinfected. A professional mold remediation team will use a biocide, fungicide, or moldicide to treat the area. These solutions effectively kill the mold and keep it from growing again.
Encapsulating the Mold – In some cases, the mold cannot be completely removed and it may be necessary to encase it instead. This can be done by sealing the affected area with a mold and mildew resistant paint or a similar substance.
Removing the Mold Source – Even if the mold has been removed, if the cause of its growth isn’t addressed, it can grow back. A reputable mold remediation specialist will either fix the problem themselves, or call in a sub-contractor to make the repair to ensure the issue is resolved.

Ventilate Your Bathrooms for Removal

Ventilation is critical for controlling moisture in bathrooms. Even a little bit of mold spotting is a sign that there is excessive moisture. Mold and mildew can be treated permanently by creating a home that is dry and comfortable. If you need help with mold removal and remediation, call the Twin Home Experts today for a free inspection.

Can I Perform Mold Remediation Myself?

The answer is, that depends. If the area is very small, then you may be able to take care of the problem yourself by following the steps above. However, if the mold issue is large-scale, or the mold is growing in a hard to reach area like inside a wall, it’s best to leave the work to a professional. For starters, mold can cause serious health issues, especially if it’s a toxic mold. Additionally, a mold remediation specialist like Twin Home Experts has all of the tools, equipment, and treatments necessary to do the job.

When Should I Get Mold Remediation Done?

If you, or anyone in your household, experiences allergy symptoms like a runny nose, congestion, itchy, watery eyes, or a rash, their health is in jeopardy. Long-term exposure to mold can cause mold poisoning which can be life-threatening to very young children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system. The longer you let a mold problem go, the worse it will get so it’s imperative that you take care of mold growth as soon as you notice it.
