Mildew Mold Cleanup
Mold is a small organism that packs a big punch when it comes to damaging your home and furnishings. It can start easily in moist and humid areas of the home, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Normal cleaning may not be enough to destroy the entire colony, and regrowth can be quick and unseen. Once it is established, it releases spores into the air that allow it to travel and adhere to other surfaces. This can cause detrimental damages to your furnishings, structure, and even carpeting.
Mold Growth Causing Health Effects
Mold can also cause serious health effects as well as depreciate the value of your home.People with asthma, newborns, or those with allergies and weakened immune systems are the most affected. If not treated in time, it can cause breathing problems and may even require hospitalization.
That is why RestorationMaster uses professional equipment to identify sources, find other problem areas, and prevent future growth. We use advanced technology to identify areas that are affected in addition to those that require immediate attention.
Mold Cleanup – What to Do
- Call RestorationMaster immediately upon noticing mold in order to limit the spread of the damage.
- Provide proper air circulation throughout the affected areas by turning on the fan or dehumidifier.
- Wear protective equipment, including glasses, gloves, and a mask when present around the mold.
- Wipe down any unaffected walls that are wet or contain condensation to prevent the mold from spreading.
- If outside conditions are humid or wet, close all windows and doors to prevent moisture from seeping in.
