​​MOLD PRECAUTIONS

Mold is more than just a nuisance in your home. It can cause significant damage to your home as well as impact the health of your family. If you discover mold growing in your home, getting rid of it should be your number one priority. Allowing a mold problem to spread and worsen will lead to much costlier problems down the line. When dealing with mold, there are a number of precautions you should take to ensure that you are not putting yourself or your family at risk. For professional mold remediation assistance, contact Dayton Mold Remediation to speak with our team of experienced specialists.
 
Mold Prevention
There are a number of ways to prevent mold from taking up residence in your home. Damp or excessively humid conditions are the main catalysts for mold growth. Keeping your home dry is the best way to avoid a mold problem. If there is a water leak or flood in your home, you need to act quickly to fix the main issue, then thoroughly dry off all wet surfaces and remove or discard anything that cannot easily be dried. For general problems with high humidity, use a dehumidifier to help you reduce moisture from the air in especially damp areas such as the basement.
 
What You Should Do
The best thing to do is call a professional mold remediation specialist if you suspect there is mold growing in your home. They will have the necessary expertise and equipment to help you assess and get rid of your mold problem. It is a good idea to limit your exposure to the mold as much as possible by avoiding areas where there is visible mold growth. Sleep in a different bedroom or use another bathroom until the mold has been safely removed. In severe cases, you may want to consider relocating your family elsewhere until the mold remediation is complete.
 
What You Should Not Do
Mold spores can spread throughout a home very easily and colonize quickly. You should avoid touching or otherwise disturbing surfaces that are covered in mold. Attempting to physically scrub away a mold problem can wind up launching millions of microscopic mold spores in the air instead. From there, they may travel to other surfaces in your home where they can start to grow and spread once again, leaving you with a bigger mess on your hands in the near future. This is not the proper way to remove mold from your home. If you are unsure what to do, call our experts for assistance. Do not ignore a mold problem hoping it will go away on its own. The longer you wait before acting, the more money you will need to spend on mold remediation and home restoration in the end.
