Mold Removal:
When to hire a Mold Inspector

Ok, you have noticed that you have mold growing in your home and you don’t know what needs to be done to handle it.  Do you clean and do the mold removal yourself, or do you hire someone to do it for you?  These questions have probably already popped into your head.  In this article we will be discussing what will be needed to get rid of the mold.

The first step in the mold removal process of mold is to identify where it is, think of what maybe caused it to be there, and how big the area is where the mildew and mold are growing.

 

Mold removal in an area bigger than 10 square feet should be handled by a professional mold remediation contractor.  However, use caution hiring a contractor.  Due to the ease of scamming in this industry, here are a few tips on how to handle the situation and avoid any conflict of interest.

1. The person inspecting your property and testing should not be the one you hire to do the mold removal and the clean up of the property.
2. Also, after the mold removal and cleanup has been done, hire another professional to come in and retest the property for mold and mildew.
3. Ask for references. Make sure the references are people that have had the mold removal done 8 months to 1 year prior. This way, you can see if they had any more problems after their property had been serviced.

By following the few tips above, this will help to ensure you get the proper mold removal and cleanup that is needed for your home.

After the mold removal process, take preventative action so that this problem never arises again.  Install dehumidifiers, quickly dry out, clean, and disinfect areas that may have come into contact with water.  Check pipes in your home to be sure there is no condensation on the pipes, and that the pipes are not leaking.
