After Mold Remediation

Mold and its spores are naturally occurring in the environment. When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold can begin to grow in as little as 24-48 hours. If the growth remains undiscovered or ignored, it can cause extensive damage to your home and reduce its value. Also, mold potentially causes health problems. Certain species are allergenic, while others are capable of causing disease.

If your home smells musty but you cannot see the source, or there has been water damage, you may have a mold problem. Hidden sources of mold include the surface of walls behind furniture and cabinets, the backside of drywall, wallpaper, behind moldings, paneling, the topside of ceiling tiles, and the underside of carpets and padding. Areas prone to mold contamination are basements, crawl spaces, closets, bathrooms, and attics (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation).

Determine the extent of mold contamination. If the area affected is ten square feet or smaller, mold may be effectively removed with a detergent solution by the homeowner (Please visit http://www.epa.gov for more information on indoor air quality and mold). However, only a professional should clean contaminated areas of any size when pathogenic and toxigenic species are present.
