House Mold

If you are dealing with household mold, it is probably a good idea to determine just what kind of mold it is.  Different types of house mold have to be addressed different ways.  The most common mold, like what you see on your shower stall, is fairly harmless and easily removed.  Others, such as black mold, are quite insidious and can be dangerous to your health.mold2.jpg

House mold symptoms include a musty smell, and a furry, downy growth on surfaces or organic matter.  Mold can establish itself within 48 hours of a water damage event, spread rapidly, and prove extraordinarily difficult to remediate.  See house mold pictures to the right.

House mold removal is best handled by a professional, someone with the experience and the equipment to take care of the problem and do so correctly the first time out.  Mold remediation is an exact science, and should only be done by somebody trained and certified to deal with it.

You should look for a company that is IICRC or RIA certified, and offers mold removal and mold remediation as part of its various restoration services.  IICRC certification guarantees 24/7 response, trained staff, the latest in mold removal equipment and techniques, as well as accountability and credibility for the provider.  The result should be a job well done and peace of mind for the homeowner.
