Mold is a common problem, especially in wet and cold regions. Most infestations happen in damp, cold, and dark rooms like basements or attics. These microbes don’t just damage your property, but can also put your health at risk. At The Concord Group, we encourage homeowners to get rid of mold as quickly as they can. Our expert team can remove all traces of mold to ensure the air in your home is breathable once again.
Humidity Most mold thrives in humid conditions. Warm and dark spaces with more than 55% humidity are more vulnerable to mold growth. The only way to counteract this is to ensure your rooms are well ventilated and exposed to sunlight often.
Leakage Small, gradual leaks provide the ideal environment for mold growth. Water provides humidity and softens the build material. The mold spores have an easier time attaching themselves to the softened drywall and wood.
Poor Ventilation Poor ventilation is also a common cause of mold infestation. It creates a stagnant and moist environment, which is perfect for mold growth. Rooms with poor ventilation like bathrooms and kitchens are more likely to develop mold.
Flooding Flooding causes damp areas and wet patches, especially if the flooded area isn't cleaned properly. It also increases the amount of moisture in the air, creating the perfect environment for mold growth
Damp Basements If your basement doesn’t have good waterproofing, it will be damp and dark. That creates a mold-friendly habitat, which can lead to recurring infestations.
These are just some of the many causes of mold. You can hire our professional plumbers and contractors to implement preventive measures and negate the chances of mold completely.
Assessment Our first priority is to understand the extent of the infestation. We carefully examine all vulnerable areas of your home to get a clear picture. A thorough assessment ensures the cleanup is done properly.
Identify The Type Of Mold It is important to identify the type of mold before cleanup. Surface mold doesn't require more than a simple wipe and some bleach treatment. However, mold that has sunk into the building material needs more extensive treatment. We might need to remove the contaminated section to eliminate the mold completely.
Removing Moldy Carpet The next step is to remove moldy carpets or other such floor coverings. Before that, we spray the area with water to ensure the surface is damp and mold spores remain adhered to it. This will stem the spread of spores.
Sealing Off the Infested Area Our team will seal-off the infested area fully to ensure there’s no way for the mold to travel to other rooms. This also keeps the infested debris contained in one place.
Removing Moldy Materials We carefully remove moldy materials like damaged walls, furniture pieces, and decorative items. All of these items are sealed in plastic bags and disposed of responsibly.
Cleanup and Disinfect Our team starts the cleaning process immediately after removing all the items. We spray mold killing solution over the infested areas and carefully scrub away the mold. This kills all of the microbes.
Sealing Treated Areas It is important to seal all the treated areas carefully to prevent future infestations. We wait until the walls, floors, and similar surfaces are dry before applying the sealant.
Drying The Room As mentioned before, mold thrives in damp and humid conditions. We use drying machines and fans to remove excess humidity and ensure the area is well-ventilated. That will prevent another infestation and ensure the space is truly clear of spores.
Our team knows how to clean mold safely and effectively. We will use the latest tools and the best techniques to remove all traces of these microbes from your property. We also know how to get rid of black mold, which is more toxic than regular mildew.
If you see black spots in damp areas and rooms like the bathroom, do not defer calling in professionals to address the problem. Do you have any questions about black mold removal or want to hire a professional? Don’t hesitate to contact us at The Concord Group today.
