Use professionals to remove unwanted mold growth


Black Mold is much more than an ugly and malodorous irritation, and it has been linked with causing severe health problems.
Even though there are no visible signs or smells, mold is capable of developing in out of sight areas for instance crawl spaces, in-between walls and under flooring. In fact wherever surplus moisture exists from dripping pipes or taps, or even from too much humidity and if you have suffered from a flooding event black mold can form in as little as 24 hours.
That is why at the first inkling of a mold growth problem you should contact your local mold remediation specialists to help remove the offending growth before it has the chance to become a major health hazard.
A professional mold remediation company will be able to use all their knowledge and know-how they have acquired from handling mold growth problems time and again. Their technicians will come armed with the latest in mold detection and removal technology to assist them with the eradication of black mold in your home or place of business.
They will use special infrared technology to locate the exact spots the mold is growing and where it is receiving its moisture supply from. They will test the air quality both prior to and after the completion of the mold remediation works to establish that the mold has in fact been completely eradicated.
After the initial assessment they will erect a cordon sanitaire, this will help to protect the rest of the property from being affected by airborne mold spores whilst the removal work is in progress. Once the affected area has been dealt with the area is sprayed with an anti-mold spray to prevent any future problems occurring.
Mold remediation is not something that should be handled by someone who does not have the necessary safety equipment, knowledge and equipment that is required to tackle a hazardous job such as this. Doing a bad or incomplete job will just make the problem worse in the long run.
