(EstateNewsWire.com, December 24, 2012 ) Charlotte, NC – This time of year, excess snow, ice and rain can trigger flooding, water leaks and condensation in the home. These type of water events can trigger mold growth and unless it is remediated quickly when discovered, mold can spread and cause costly damage to belongings and even the interior of the home itself. Calling a professional mold removal company is recommended. The professionals at AdvantaClean in Charlotte have the expertise and equipment to tackle the problem once and for all because after a water event, certain steps need to be taken to prevent the spread of mold in the home.
Excess moisture and standing water from a water event like flood, roof leak, sewer back-up or other event can contribute to the growth of mold in homes and other buildings. One should be aware that mold may be present and may be a health risk to the family.
The wide range of symptoms of mold exposure may include stuffy nose, irritation to the eyes, skin rashes, or wheezing. People who are allergic to mold may exhibit breathing difficulty or shortness of breath. The best way to determine if one is allergic to mold is to see one’s doctor and have an allergy test performed. If one experiences some or all of the symptoms mentioned above, they should have their home checked for mold. For more information visit http://www.moldremovalcharlottenc.org/ or call 704-969-0008.
After a water event, unless the water is dried up quickly and contaminated items removed from the home, mold will inevitably take over one’s home. The mold removal experts at AdvantaClean of Charlotte can do a thorough inspection to determine if the home is infested with mold, but there are certain clues that one can look for in the home to make the determination their selves.
The most obvious way of detecting mold is by seeing it. If a water event has occurred, chances are mold will become a problem because unseen spores may be in the home just waiting for some moisture to trigger its growth. Look for discoloration on the walls, ceiling or on furniture. Depending on the mold species, it could come in the form of little black dots on the walls or ceiling tiles or it could be a white crusty material or slimy material. If one sees signs of water damage like water rings or discoloration of the ceiling tile or if a musty or earthy odor is detected, chances are mold is present and it must be dealt with quickly to prevent further damage.
If mold is detected in the home, a professional mold removal company, like AdvantaClean of Charlotte should be called. Professionals know all of the latest techniques for mold removal and they have the equipment to remove it permanently from the home. If a homeowner chooses to try and remove the mold their selves, they can follow these steps:
The first thing that should be done is to stop whatever caused the water damage and mold growth in the first place. Fixing the leaky roof, repairing the pipe or solving the back-up problem is key. If the water damage problem is not corrected, the mold will probably grow back. Once the water problem is fixed, clean up can begin. The home should be dried out quickly (within 24 to 48 hours).
• Use a shop vacuum to vacuum up standing water.
• Ventilate the home by opening doors and windows and using fans to dry out the water.
• When in doubt, take it out! One should remove all porous items that have been wet for more than 48 hours and that cannot be thoroughly cleaned and dried.
• To prevent mold growth, clean wet items and surfaces with detergent and water. In some cases, a thorough cleaning is the best way to remove mold, but as suggested earlier, a professional cleaning by a reputable mold removal company is the best way to remove mold from the home.
If after these efforts the mold returns, one should call the professionals at AdvantaClean of Charlotte. They will do a thorough inspection and will initiate mold removal techniques that they have been trained to use to clean and restore the home back to normal.
