Reduce Mold Growth With Mold Mitigation

It doesn't take long for a home or commercial building to become infested with mold and mildew once a plumbing leak or roof leak has introduced moisture to dark areas behind the walls. In fact, home and business owners are often unaware that they need mold mitigation until the growth has contaminated the interior surfaces of the walls or ceiling.

Unfortunately, the infestation can go on for some time before it has spread to the visible areas of a house or building, even in periods as short as 48 to 72 hours.

Mold mitigation, or remediation, makes sure to follow a series of specific steps to restore the environment to a safe condition. Mold mitigation involves:

• Identifying Excess Moisture - Locating moisture and mold or mildew and developing a plan.
• Water Extraction and Drying - Getting the area dried thoroughly.
• Isolating and Removing - Isolating moldy and unsalvageable building materials and belongings and removing them from the property.
• Mold and Mildew Treatments - A mold and mildew treatment is applied.
• Mold Testing - A final mold test is necessary to ensure the area is in a safe and restored healthy state.

It's essential to understand that mold spores exist everywhere in our environment; you cannot completely remove them. Achieving a complete mold removal isn't possible, nor would it be advisable since many mold species are beneficial to our health and the environment.
