Remediating Your Damages
Water creates a favorable environment for mold growth, and an excessive amount of humidity in a property can condense and cause mold. Some rooms and spaces are more prone to developing mold. Ironically, newer homes can often experience more mold growth than older homes because they are more tightly insulated.
The most familiar example of mold is the type that develops in the grout between ceramic tiles. Other areas include:
- Attics
- Crawl Spaces
- Wall interiors
- Around chimneys
- Furnaces
- Ducts
- Kitchens
- Under sinks
- Air vents
- Under window unit air conditioners
Early recognition of mold is important. Look for signs such as;
- Musty smells
- Water damage
- Rust
- Warped materials
- Leaks
- Visible mold
Once you or a professional have found excessive or dangerous mold, the process of remediation begins. The mold remediation procedure is unique to each mold growth scenario, so each case will usually require its own specific solutions. The fundamental mold remediation procedure includes:
- A full inspection of the property to identify mold type and source.
- Isolation and containment of contaminated areas before cleaning or removal.
- Thorough cleaning of mold on non-porous or semi-porous materials.
- Disposal or removal of mold damaged materials.
- Sanitization, deodorization, and elimination of odors using fogging equipment.
- Preventive recommendations to prevent regrowth.
After the successful remediation process, a post-clean-up inspection is done to verify success and the cleanup effect. A complete mold remediation procedure is what keeps potentially harmful mold problems away.
