East Saint Louis Mold Removal

24 HOUR SERVICE - CALL US AT 1-800-222-6815

Do you have Mold? Is it toxic mold? Do you have water damage from a flooded basement which is causing moisture to buildup in your home or business? The moisture associated with water intrusions will promote the growth of toxic mold such as Stachybotrys, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium.

The longer an indoor contaminant is allowed to remain intact, the greater its potential impact on human health and on the structural integrity of the facility. Mold can grow on most common building materials if they remain wet for 24 to 48 hours. Special care must be taken during the mold removal and restoration process or serious health hazards can develop.

Our mold remediation technicians are fully trained and are proficient with the latest equipment, materials and techniques. We specialize in remediation of mold, bacteria, water and sewage damage cleanup in your facility.

You can reach us at 1-800 222-6815 if you are having any water, sewage, smoke damage, or mold problems!

Mold Removal Solution - Facts and Fiction

Mold spores seem to be present everywhere, so it's not surprising if a house or office grows mold one time or another. Mold growth is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Thus, if you find one in your home, don't panic. Still, molds are a cause for concern especially because they have been linked to cause certain health hazards. Therefore, you should start mold removal as soon as you find a trace or colony of molds in your home.

What spurs growth of mold are low humidity level and high moisture content inside indoor places. Your basement and bathroom are the two house areas where you'd commonly find mold growth. But other than for health reasons, there's another compelling reason you should perform mold removal as soon as you can: they do make an unpleasant sight in your home.

You might be tempted to just spread some paint over the surface, thinking the chemicals in paints would anyhow kill the molds while covering them. This doesn't, however, eliminate the root cause of the problem: mold spores and moisture content in your home. In a while, the paint will flake off and then the mold will reappear. If you do not improve the moisture condition in your home, mold will keep growing, and no amount of paint job can eliminate or keep their growth in check.

To remove mold totally from your home, you need to do serious cleaning and disinfecting of contaminated areas. Of course, you can ring mold removal services to do the job for you. But if you want to save some bucks on cleaning services, then just do the mold removal yourself. Follow the tips below on how to effectively remove mold from your home. Before doing mold removal, consult with your physician if you have any health condition that might be aggravated by exposure to molds.

To remove molds from hard surfaces (like counter tops), scrub off the surface with detergent and water. Rinse the surface, wipe with dry cloth, then allow to dry completely.

To remove molds whose growth was brought about by flooding or sewage backup, use a bleach solution. Again, let the surfaces dry completely.

Unfortunately, with porous materials like paper and carpet, thorough mold removal is not possible. The reason is that porous materials have crevices or spaces that molds can fill up and grow in. Thus, while you can remove visible mold growth by scrubbing contaminated surfaces with detergents or bleach solutions, cleaning may still fail to eliminate molds that have grown inside crevices. The only way to completely eliminate molds is by discarding such type of infested materials.

If molds have infested your art objects, upholstery, furnishing, and furniture and have unsightly stains on the surface, you might need to call restoration services to eliminate mold and restore aesthetic damages.

Molds grow where humidity level is low, and where there's moisture. Along with mold removal, you should see to it that the cause of mold growth is also fixed. Whether it is a leaking pipe or roof or such, make sure that you fix the source of moisture problem in your home within 24-48 hours after you've done mold removal cleanup. Always make sure also that your home is always well-ventilated to prevent molds from infesting your home again.
