Whether the result of flooding or a burst pipe, black mold poses a serious hazard to your family’s health. Because it thrives on moisture, it can also spread quite quickly, resulting in significant property damage. Proper cleanup and restoration is key to protecting your family and property.
Kill the Mold
First things first, an antimicrobial agent should be applied to any areas that experienced water damage. These cleaning chemicals kill existing mold spores and prevent new mold growth. Identifying and addressing the source of the moisture is also key to containing the outbreak. Using a dehumidifier or fan to dry out the affected area will prevent additional damage.
Remove Affected Items
Effective mold remediation often requires that affected items be removed from the house for disposal. Carpet, furniture, and even drywall and insulation may need to be removed from the property and replaced.
Prevent Future Growth
Mold remediation is completed by taking steps to prevent future mold growth. This could include running negative air machines with HEPA filters to trap mold spores that become airborne when removing contaminated materials. Preventative treatments can also be applied to materials and surfaces within the property.
