When you stumble across a mold infestation in your home, you have one immediate thought: removal. You want to get it out of your house and out of your sight — the sooner, the better. In that rush to extricate the mold, you probably think that the cleaning process is a lot simpler than it really is. Homeowners often think that a little soap, water and elbow grease is enough to get rid of a major outbreak. Without fail, the mold comes back in the same spot, or it never even went away in the first place. Mold is a tricky thing to eradicate from your home, which is why we recommend professional mold remediationservices versus a DIY mold removal approach.

If you’ve stumbled across an outbreak that is relatively small, contained and is not suspected to be black mold, you may choose to try a do-it-yourself method. There is, of course, no guarantee that it will completely solve your mold issue; you never know what is below the surface. And, if you have not yet located the source of moisture causing the mold, an outbreak could easily happen again. If the mold outbreak is expansive and multicolored, you’ll need to call in a mold remediation expert to do a thorough check and removal.

Excessive Exposure Is Never Good

If you have a basic knowledge of mold, you know that it occurs when tiny, microscopic spores latch onto a moist area in your home and begin to grow. Of the thousands of varieties of mold, the most dangerous is black mold. If you suspect a black mold outbreak, you’ll want to contact a professional right away. Regardless of the type of mold in your home, it’s best to limit your exposure, as excessive mold exposure can lead to serious health risks down the road. To be anywhere near it, you should have a high grade face mask on and a completely covered body. If you have asthma or a respiratory condition, you are instantly at a higher risk. Rather than attempting to remove mold yourself, it is a lot safer for you to call a professional who knows what they’re doing, can solve the problem, and will make your air safe again.

Is Your HVAC System Affected?

If you think you have mold in your heating, ventilation, or air conditioning system, you absolutely need a professional’s assistance. Your air quality is not something you should leave to chance; mold spores in your air can compromise your long-term health. A professional will be able to come in with the proper tools to examine, clean, or replace your HVAC system for peace of mind and the safety of your family.
