Mold Damage Tips for Bethesda, MD
Mold growth generally appears when a home or building is affected by excess moisture such as condensation or if there is significant water damage. Moisture is the main trigger for mold growth and the most effective way to prevent mold is to remove excess water and react quickly to water damage. If there is moisture or condensation on your walls, ceilings, or other surfaces of your home, wipe it off before it leads to mold or other damage. Finding and fixing the source of the moisture will help prevent further issues with excess moisture or mold.
The worst part about dealing with mold is the serious health effects that are caused by exposure. Those who are exposed to the mold spores may develop allergic reactions including skin irritation, coughing, itchy eyes and throat, and nasal congestion while long term exposure can cause respiratory infections and other serious issues. Even if you don’t find mold in your home, the World Health Organization advises that you still be cautious because water damaged buildings (WDB) are always likely to have contaminants such as fungus, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, mycobacteria, and actinomycetes that can be dangerous to your health.
It is possible to remove minor amounts of mold effectively with a solution of water and a mild detergent, but most cases of mold should be removed by professionals. At RestorationMaster, our professionals are trained and experienced to provide quality mold remediation services and we use the most effective methods and equipment of the industry to test for hidden mold and ensure that your home or building is mold free.
