Even if you think of yourself as a handyman or cleaning expert, there are some projects that are better left to the pros. Chief among these is mold removal. There is much more to getting rid of mold than some light cleaning, and if you don’t do it right, you may actually make the problem worse. Here’s what you should know.
Identifying the Exact Source of the Mold
There are several potential culprits behind mold growth in your house, from a roof or window leak to damaged plumbing. Even failure to clean up a spill in a humid environment can lead to mold growth.
While you may be able to spot the mold itself, identifying the source of the moisture isn’t always so easy. Failure to address the cause of the mold could cause it to come back later on.
Dangers of DIY Mold Cleaning
There is more to getting rid of mold than scrubbing it with soap and water. In fact, these DIY cleaning efforts can actually make the problem worse by helping mold spores get airborne and spread throughout the home.
These spores can become a major respiratory irritant. In addition to watery eyes, coughing, and runny nose, it can worsen symptoms for those with asthma and allergies. Black mold exposure can cause chronic illness, fatigue, and headaches.
If your home has been affected by a mold outbreak, don’t leave cleanup to chance. Contact the mold removal experts at Shrock Restoration to get fast, professional cleaning that will eliminate the problem for good. Schedule your free consultation today to get the help you need.
