While there are several DIY mold removal options, hiring a reputable professional with restoration certification to remove mold is best, as they have both the knowledge and access to these higher-quality mold removal techniques. Homeowners’ insurance usually covers the removal cost if a professional needs to intervene.

Puroclean Property Damage Experts of Cleveland is the right company for this situation. Charles and his technicians know how to properly check for mold levels. They are the mold remediation professionals who are trained to handle mold and mildew safely and efficiently, adhering to strict regulations and procedures set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Before beginning any mold remediation process, a mold remediation professional first assesses the scope of the mold damage and the effects that the current water and indoor air quality can have on other parts of a structure. They’ll also account for the types of mold, such as green or black, and check to see where mold colonies might be growing. Moist, dark places like crawl spaces and air ducts are prime areas where mold thrives. 

A more dangerous and widespread mold problem may require heavier-duty cleaning materials to ensure they are eliminated.

The proper personal protective equipment (PPE) must be utilized and worn when handling any mold hazard, as it can cause irritations and other health problems if inhaled or result in direct skin contact. PPE includes goggles to protect the eyes and nose (to avoid breathing in spores), a biohazard suit, and gloves. Mold exposure, both short and long-term, should be avoided.

The strategy used to remediate depends on the type and severity of the infestation. It could mean removing damaged drywall or mold-infested materials such as fabrics and flooring, increasing ventilation in rooms with contaminated air, applying seals around windows where water seepage might occur, and using industrial foggers to remove airborne spores. A successful result requires thorough inspection during and after completion to ensure all mold spores have been eliminated using safe and effective methods.
