To remove water damage mold from your home, you need to do some,
or all of the following:-
Stop water leaks, repair leaky roofs and plumbing. Keep water
away from concrete slabs and basement walls.
Open windows and doors to increase air flow in your home,
especially along the inside of exterior walls. Use a fan if
there are no windows available.
Make sure that warm air flows into all areas of the home. Move
large objects a few inches away from the inside of exterior
walls to increase air circulation.
Install and use exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
Ventilate and insulate attic and crawl spaces. Use heavy plastic
to cover earth floors in crawl spaces.
Clean and dry water damaged carpets, clothing, bedding, and
upholstered furniture within 24 to 48 hours, or consider
removing and replacing damaged furnishings.
Vacuum and clean your home regularly to remove mold spores.
Check around your windows for signs of condensation and water
droplets. Wipe them up right away so mold cannot start to grow.
If you follow the advice above, you will soon be able to
successfully conquer water damage mold in your home, making it a
safer, healthier place to be.
You know you have mold when you smell the “musty” odor or see
small black or white specks along your damp bathroom or basement
walls. Some mold is hidden growing behind wall coverings or
ceiling tiles. Even dry, dead mold can cause health problems, so
always take precautions when you suspect mold.
