Mold is a common fungus that is present in every residential or commercial structure. Because of this seemingly normal occurrence, people often dismiss a mold growth infestation as a minor issue. Unfortunately, there is more to it than just harmless visible mold discolorations on the drywall.

What people must know is that these mold spores become airborne spores affecting the air quality, which can trigger sneezing, coughing, and other allergic reactions. In fact, the worst type of toxic mold can have bad health effects and even lead to deadly neurological conditions. It is important to get rid of these fungal growths.

Mold remediation or removal is the process where mold is meticulously removed from surfaces through various equipment and methods. Due to possible health and safety hazards, cleaning should only be performed by professionals with experience.

At Action 1 Restoration, we believe in a structured mold detection and remediation process. We begin with identifying the source of the fungal growth (usually a water leak), then proceed with addressing the issue from there. Usually, mold is caused by an accumulation of water damage which made its way into the building through cracks on walls and ceilings. Without properly identifying this issue, the mold issues will never come to an end.

While the mold is being removed, spores are released into the air in significant quantities affecting the air quality. Thus, our certified team makes sure that the contaminated area is completely isolated from the rest of the home to prevent further dispersion of these airborne contaminants. We also use High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to continuously purify the air as we work towards indoor mold cleanup. And to ensure sanitary standards, our team is likewise mandated to wear appropriate clothing and gear throughout the mold remediation process.

A lot of people are afraid to clean their homes because they think it is too costly. In reality, if you do the research, you can do your own mold remediation on a budget. However, if you don't do this properly, you may end up doing more harm to your home than good. Here are some tips on how you can clean up your home if you want to save money but still have the benefits.

Water damage is caused when water gets into your home from somewhere outside and seeps into the structure. Some of the common water sources are rain gutters, sewers, rivers, ponds, lakes, and streams. Mold can grow on damp materials and can cause health issues. It's important to know what sources you are using on a regular basis and start checking for signs of mold.

You will need to get rid of any leaking pipes. A lot of times, water damage can be caused from the leaking faucets, toilets, and showers. If you find any signs of mold, you should consider having them replaced immediately. If the source is sewer lines, it can cause serious structural damage to your home. You should use water filters on your sink to keep the pipes clean and to help with mold removal.

Drywall is made up mostly of cellulose, which is why many homeowners believe it is difficult to remove. The truth is, it can actually be very easy if you follow a few steps. First, you need to spray your walls with non-saline-based paint and put down a thick board sealant on all seams. You should also use a special vacuum to suck out dust and dirt, which are usually embedded deep in the wall and can be a breeding ground for mold.

You also need to vacuum your attic and basement to suck out the mold spores. When it comes to cleaning out the basement and attic, you need to be especially careful. It is usually hard to get to these areas, and there are a lot of spores floating around. Make sure you buy a vacuum that can reach up to the ceiling and not the floor and that way you can get the spores up high enough to avoid getting them on your carpet. If your basement or attic is full of mold, you may need to call in a professional.

Next, you will need to remove any mold spores and clean the place thoroughly. If the source is water damage, you should do this before putting down the sealant and before putting any of your drywall or insulation back on. Vacuum up all the water spots that you find and then apply it to the areas you've covered. If you're using drywall to dry out, you'll need to cut out any areas that are covered with mold. If you're using insulation, you can use paint or sealant and spray it on overtop of the area and use some bleach.

Air purifiers are also effective ways to clean your home. A good air purifier will trap most of the mold and dust mites and help keep the mold spores from re-infecting your home after a cleanup. They should be used on all sides of your windows, walls, doors, and ceilings.

The best thing about an air purifier is the fact that you don't need to worry about the cost, you only need to buy the air filter and run it all the time to ensure a healthy home. If you have mold or mildew on your roof, windows, walls, or carpet, you can use an air purifier on those areas to get rid of them and keep mold away.
