Instead of mold remediation, would it not be easier to just say – ‘how to get rid of mold”?
Probably. However when using the word, remediation, a lot more is involved here than just getting rid of mold. Yes, there is a lot to think about when we talk about mold remediation.
First of all, I am sure all of us understand what mold is (spelt “mould”, by some).
We know we have a mold problem when we see a dark formation of it starting to appear on an area of ceiling or walls in our home, office etc. Actually, to scare you a little, mold is a type of fungus that breeds and spreads and can result in health issues. So, it is no wonder then, that when we see mould, we usually take action to remedy the situation by wiping it off. But is just wiping it off – mold remediation ?
Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t.
For instance, if our mold situation is small, and we can determine ourselves how to get rid of it without it returning, by stopping the source of moisture that enables the mold, then yes, we have successfully accomplished – mold remediation.
However, what if our mold problem is huge, maybe a whole room is infected with it, and nothing we do remedies the situation. Then we need a mold remediation professional who will come and identify the source of moisture, remove the mold itself and give advice as to further steps you can take, and if you agree will provide the means to totally remove the mold problem for good. This is mold remediation on a large scale.
So, the question is – Can you fix it yourself, or,
Do you need the services of a professional?
There are other questions too that need an answer.
Questions like –
Why is it important we get rid of mold?
How to be sure the mold has been controlled, removed, and won’t return?
What are some tips or tricks to get rid of it if you do it yourself?
