Mold Remediation
Mold growth due to excess moisture can happen within 24–48 hours and can spread throughout a structure within 72 hours if the moisture isn’t taken care of in a timely manner. Damage from mold can show itself in many different forms. From damaging the structure of a home to causing sickness to its occupants, mold can be very invasive. Absolute Restoration LLC will not only remove the mold but also locate and take care of the problem that caused it.
If you have a high level of moisture in your basement due to cracks in your foundation or live in an area where there is a high probability of flooding, there is reason to believe that you may have mold, or it is beginning to grow somewhere. There can be many reasons why you have mold growth, but it mainly has to do with moisture. Moisture is the enemy here. To put a stop to mold growth, the moisture in your home needs to be controlled.
Here are a few things you need to know about mold:
-
Mold and mold spores can negatively affect the health of members of your household. Especially those that already have allergies, asthma, or other health problems.
-
Mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours if household items, building structures, or anything that holds moisture is not dried as soon as possible.
-
You can find mold in any number of places, almost everywhere. Mold can also grow on nearly any material where there is moisture present. Some molds can grow on paper, cardboard, wood, carpet, absorbent materials, and food.
Dos and Don'ts
Dos
-
Do purchase a dehumidifier to eliminate the moisture in the air and lower the humidity level.
-
Do call the professionals. Absolute Restoration LLC will handle any mold problem. We will remediate any mold problem and locate the source, taking care to prevent the problem from coming back.
Don'ts
-
Don’t let your children or your pets near the affected area. Children and pets are highly susceptible to getting sick from mold. Others to keep away are the elderly who have health problems.
-
Do not disturb the mold. Poking at it, trying to dry the damp area with a fan can cause mold spores to release and spread through the air, possibly into other parts of the home.
-
Do not try and clean the mold with harsh chemicals, like bleach. Bleach can actually cause mold to spread.
-
Do not sniff the affected area. The inhalation of mold spores can be detrimental to one’s health.
-
Do not paint over mold. The paint only covers the area so you can’t see any activity or new growth going on underneath it.
The benefits of Mold Remediation
First, what is mold remediation? Mold Remediation is the extensive clean-up of items where mold is present. The ‘extensive clean-up” means that the process entails cleaning, treating, and/or removing those surfaces, items, materials, etc. where the mold has grown. Remediation additionally means that the skilled technicians at Absolute Restoration LLC will also locate where the cause of the moisture originated and treat it, so mold doesn’t grow there again. Then they will restore the area to the way it was before the mold decided to grow.
​
The benefits of mold remediation are numerous. The most important are the health benefits, if people are living in the home or if there will be in the future. The eradication of mold also improves the air quality in a home. Mold spores that inhabit the air we breathe can lead to health problems. The remediation process consists of our technicians getting rid of the mold, and then cleaning and sanitizing the area so the result is cleaner and more breathable air.
