For those who have allergies and other illnesses mold can affect the feasibility of living in your own home, let alone the value of your property on Jacksonville Florida. Knowing when you should attempt to remove mold on your own or when to contact a professional service will be determined by the size of your problem.
If you think you may need to clean mold from your property, or are unsure if you have a mild or mildew problem, you may first want to check the damp areas of your house. This includes any drains, pipes, cellars, or basement areas. Leaks or moisture in these areas can possibly lead to mold or mildew growth. Hidden leaks inside your walls may even produce mold. Outside leaks, like those around windows, vents, or flashing can also harbor mold and mildew. Any place with condensation, such as under water heating jackets, can also be a place where mold may take root.
Mold may have already invaded your home without you even knowing it! If you believe this may be the case in your home, and are unsure, contact a professional mold removal service, or try and clean the mold yourself. Mold removal/mold remediation can be a difficult task, but mold should not ever be ignored. The problem will only get worse. Test any spots where you think that mold may occur, or seems to already be occurring. Diagnostic tools, such as moisture detectors, may help to find trouble areas. You can also buy mold test kits, or use a solution of diluted bleach to check suspect spots. The bleach solution will either turn the mold white quickly, or the mold will come back to darken the same spot again after cleaning in a few days. Once you have positively determined mold is a problem in your house, you can try to use an antimicrobial spray only after the area has been dried.
If you are still unsure about cleaning your property yourself, without the help of a professional or are unclear exactly how to attack the problem, or perhaps you are not even sure if you really have mold and mildew in unseen areas? You might want to start with hiring a professional to do an inspection of your home. If they discover you do have mold inside the walls, or somewhere in your household, they can offer you service options or information about cleaning mold and avoiding it in the future.
Many try to clean the mold themselves and you may do the same. The problem is if you do not find all of the secret spots that mold likes to hide and grow or if when you do it is not completely remove all of it. It will come back. Also if you do not address the cause of it in the first place it will come back. Hiring a professional mold removal company ensure that this will not happen. They know where mold lives, they know how to remove it and they will know the cause of the mold in the first place. This will enable you to rectify the problem and know that your home is safe from the return of mold for many years to come.
