Bio-One is a Micro-certified mold cleanup company serving North San Diego County and surrounding communities. Our restoration technicians are ready to tackle any mold problems, whether it's residential or business property. Mold is a type of fungi that can grow both indoors and outdoors. It is often found in damp areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and laundry rooms. It can also be found on clothing, books, paper, and anywhere else where there is moisture.
While mold is not necessarily harmful to humans, some people are allergic to it and can experience physical symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, and skin irritation. In severe cases, mold can cause respiratory problems and severe allergic reactions. If you have a mold problem in your home, this 4-step plan for proper mold cleanup and remediation can help you!
Mold can grow anywhere there is moisture or excess humidity, so it's important to identify the moisture source to prevent further growth and contamination. You won't be able to get rid of the mold if you don't address the water problems in the home. Be prompt to fix water leaks, clean out wet areas, and install ventilation systems in your home or office.
Try looking for hidden mold in the following areas:
Once you've identified the source of the mold, you'll need to remove any materials that have been affected by it. Mold damage considerably affects indoor air quality, so some people must be evacuated from highly contaminated environments.
You probably will have to remove moldy carpeting and padding, damaged drywall, or any other materials you think might have been in contact with the mold. Wear protective gear during this process to minimize your exposure to mold spores.
If you have any moldy materials that can't be removed from the area, such as wallboards or insulation, you'll need to throw them away. Porous materials can't be effectively cleaned and will continue to harbor mold spores, which can cause the problem to come back.
Once all of the affected materials have been removed, the next step is to thoroughly clean and disinfect all surface mold from the areas using only specialized mold cleaning products.
When cleaning up moldy surfaces, it's crucial to be careful and always wear safety gear. Mold can have numerous health effects on people, especially those with pre-existing medical conditions like asthma and allergies.
