Mold
Abatement
Mold abatement is necessary
whenever you
find it in your living environment. Some mold abatement problems are as
simple as
a spray and wipe to remove. Others require a little more care and some
demolition, while the worst mold abatement jobs may require
mold abatement professionals.
Professional mold abatement may be needed
if you or your family has
become incapacitated from the mold infection. But other times it is
necessary when the scope of work is too large or complex to manage. For
example should your basement flood and stay a foot deep for a week -
that would be wise to hire professionals.
The walls in your basement are probably ruined except for the block or
concrete outer walls. Those will need to cleaned, sanitzed and possibly
painted after the water is removed. But the inner walls with wood or
drywall construction will need to be demolished safely as to not spread
mold spores and discarded safely without contaminating the rest of the
house.
Mold abatement companies are usually careful in this respect.
Mold abatement
professionals will build a containment around the
infected area which will be vented outside using HEPA filters. They
will also produce a negative air pressure with respect to the rest of
the house so that outer air will enter but not the other way around.
All the debris will be placed in bags. Once complete the entire
containment area - tools, tent, bags and personnel will be
decontaminated and the debris safely removed.
The better mold abatement companies will also use a moldicide at this
point so that
any errant mold spores that escaped will be eliminated. It's important
to keep the mold count within your home as low as possible. The mold
abatement company should do a pretty good job of that.
Without a
mold abatement
company what usually happens is people will
get the water out of the basement in a week. They may take longer to
get to tearing down the walls. They may leave some walls standing
because after about a month, they're looking pretty good and a little
paint will hide the water mark.
In a matter of months the mold within the walls will grow considerably
and if your basement is humid, it will grow like wild fire. You might
get a musty odor that annoys you but you can easily remedy most of it
with a de-humidifier but the basement will still remain humid enough to
keep feeding the mold. You won't even be noticing the fact that small
little ailments are beginning to start on you. Maybe a stuffy nose, or
some sinus headaches.
Mold Abatement Company Not Hired
Before too long, since you didn't hire the mold abatement done, your
immune system will be overwhelmed and any kind of ailment can crop up
"suddenly". What happens is your immune system gets destroyed and
instead of paying roughly one or two thousand dollars for mold
abatement, your thrift is going to cost you thousands of dollars and
could possibly give you a disease for life.
