What Do We Understand by the Mold Removal Process?
Molds, as we all know, are fungal colonies that proliferate very fast through spores. Molds pose severe health hazards for both humans and animals in an indoor environment. Therefore, if you find molds have affected your home on a large scale, you will have to call for the mold remediation professionals to deal with the issue. Externally, their contact with skin or the eyes can cause severe irritation and allergic reaction. Internally, inhaling the mold spores can result in symptoms like nausea, respiratory tract infection, asthmatic symptoms, and dizziness. Besides, being a health hazard, molds, if unnoticed for a long duration can cause serious damage to the property as well.
In this context, one thing should be very clear. Molds are not pests. They are not insects, but a type of micro-organism called fungus. In nature, molds occur as the natural process of decaying and transformation through decomposition of organic substances. Molds are therefore only harmful or hazardous when they appear in a high concentration in an indoor environment. In an outdoor environment, the molds represent a very natural phenomenon of decay and transformation. Molds thrive on a substratum, if there is a continuous dampness surrounding the rock layer, and if there is accumulation of decomposing organic matter like leftover food in the kitchen. Once you rectify those issues, you do not find much of molds returning to your home.
When the mold problem has gotten out of hand due to negligence or any other reason, calling a mold remediation professional is the only natural solution. The mold remediation professional first conducts a mold survey of your place and determine the extent of mold infestation at your home. While this survey is done, you will have to check out that the survey is including even hidden molds, like molds behind the wallpapers or in any other obscure region of the house.
There is more than one method of mold removal but whichever method is applied, you will have to make sure that you are wearing protective goggles, respirator and body suit to prevent the mold spores from entering within you or getting in direct contact with your skin. The various mold remediation techniques employed include dry ice blasting process, the vacuum process, damp wipe process and disposal of affected commodities. An improvement of the traditional vacuum is the HEPA vacuum cleaners which have been found to be more effective in mold removal.
