Orland Park 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!

Five Tips on Mold Removal and Prevention

One of the problems you could be left with even after the flood has subsided and you have cleaned your home is the growth of mold in your home. Mold grows in areas that are moist. Even if you work hard at keeping the moisture in your home low, floods can undermine your efforts. Flooding can leave many parts of your home wet which can result in the growth of mold. This is why after cleaning your home and disinfecting all surfaces after a flood, it is important to get everything dry. You should also use a dehumidifier to prevent the home from getting too humid.

In the event that mold still develops in certain parts of your home even after getting everything clean and dry after a flood, here are some tips on mold removal that you could follow:

• Control the moisture in your home. There are many reasons that moisture could build up in certain areas of your home. The first thing you must do is to fix the moisture problem in your home. Without moisture- mold will not grow. Fix plumbing leaks so that you won't have problems with molds growing on ceilings, under the sink and other areas of your home that have faulty plumbing. Do not abuse your home humidifier, they can cause an excess of moisture and the growth of mold. Make sure that your home has enough ventilation in the kitchen and in the bathroom because these areas can easily get humid. You can also use silica gel and other products that absorb moisture in closets and other enclosed spaces.

• Do not let wet things to sit for days; instead dry them out. This applies for everything in your home - wet clothes, furniture, carpet, etc. When things get wet and not just because of flood, make sure that you dry them out. Never put wet clothes in the hamper as this is a sure-fire way for mold to grow in them. And mold removal on clothes is difficult especially if the damage is severe.

• Discard items that have been gravely damaged by the flood and by mold. There are certain items that you need to get rid of for health purposes- mattresses that have been soaked in sewage water and are now growing mold, etc. There are also things you need to discard simply because the item is cheap and mold removal won't help restore its original look and it would be a better option to get a replacement. Try to save as much things as you can with the mold removal techniques that you know of. Simply throw out the things that have been severely damaged by mold because they can just cause mold spores to spread in your home.

• If you can afford it and there are too many precious items in your home, hire a professional to do the mold removal in your home. They will know what needs to be done and they can also inspect for hidden mold in your home.

• Do not allow mold to develop again. Mold will grow at every opportunity because mold spores are ever-present in the air. Keep all surfaces dry and watch out for leaks and other problems in your home that can lead to moisture build-up and the growth of mold. Remember that it is easier to prevent mold build-up than to worn on mold removal.
