Dangerous Mold Damage To Your Home Or Basement Can Be Prevented Or Sanitized By Professionals

By Timothy Pitters


You have probably read in the newspapers about people who have had to deal with mold in their homes. There is nothing worse, some would say, and it caused a great deal of damage to the structure as well as the peace of mind that was all but broken. Problems with respiratory illnesses, costs involved in clean up and the hits on reputations are quite severe. When you have mold damage to your home or basement, it seems like an invasion of something caused by nature.

The tell tale signs of molds infestation can be as easily discovered as smelling something very earthy or damp. This will occur in places such as the basement or crawlspace. It can also come from inside a wall, especially an exterior wall or one that contains the main wet wall in your home. This is the wall that has pipes running through it.

The exterior walls are primary areas of concern as they may leak from a local, recent flood or a sewer system back up. The wet wall might be hiding a leaking pipe or a leak from the roof. Since the wet wall is hiding the main piping for your house, it may show signs of dampness or an actual leak underneath that can come out into an adjacent area.

When you talk to a mold remediation company in Michigan, you will learn that the presence of water does not automatically mean you have this growth. The rapid removal of this water will almost guarantee this. Mold spores are what will begin the growth of additional molds and these spores can be anywhere and everywhere. They are outside and can be tracked in on peoples clothes or on a pet.

Most people who are subject to these respiratory problems will have itchy eyes, runny nose and or scratchy throat. This is a good time to contact a mold remediation company to come in and test your home for the presence of something that will get worse if it is not dealt with. The equipment and testing gear these professionals have available will help them find any problems without a lot of tearing apart of your home.

The presence of moisture over about 50 percent will indicate at least the start of a problem. This often toxic growth needs to have fuel in order to live and grow. This fuel is warmth, dark places and moisture. Sophisticated equipment is available to measure this, even behind walls, under floors and above ceilings. All of these places will harbor molds if conditions are right.

As these experts find problems, through a thorough inspection of your home, they will take the steps necessary to remove and sanitize all areas. This may include removing parts of walls, floors, ceilings or even furnishings that can not be cleaned properly. All of this material, thus removed, will have to be disposed of in certified disposal sites using appropriate licenses and permits.

Prevention of conditions that assist in mold growth is something that should be undertaken on a daily basis. Contact plumbers for any leaks quickly. Have a home inspection done every few years and. If you do smell that tell tale earthy order or anyone in the family develops any repository illness symptoms they did not have before, take action. Call on a home restoration company to come in and take a detailed look.
