Removing black mold from your home involves finding the source of the mold!
Black mold is one of the things that no homeowner or property owner ever wants to see. Small patches of black mold can be tackled with a bit of elbow grease, but larger areas of black mold should be left to professional mold remediation companies. Black mold is one of the most toxic types of mold, so it isn’t worth risking your personal health and safety to save a few dollars. Here are some of our tips for what to do if you discover black mold.
Figure Out Where The Mold Is Coming From
First, you need to determine what is the source of the black mold that you see. Black mold is very common in bathrooms and kitchens, because they have high and frequent amounts of moisture. However, black mold can have a variety of causes including flooding, water damage, slow leaks, and periods of high atmospheric humidity. Once you pinpoint the source of the black mold, you can take steps towards mold remediation.
Get Rid Of The Problem
Next, you should get rid of the moisture source. In some cases, this is easier said than done. Stop the leak or pipe that is leading to moisture accumulation. Once this is done, you can begin the cleanup process.
Clean Up The Black Mold
Seal off the room with the black mold so that the spores don’t move to other areas of your home. Make sure that the area with mold is slightly damp so that you can clean it. Dry mold spores get into the air easily and can cause further issues. Next, use fans or air power to ventilate the space. Use heavy-duty soap and a new sponge to clean the moldy area. Black mold spores are very small and it’s important to remove all of them to protect your health.
