TAKE NOTE: THERE ARE SOME MYTHS ABOUT MOLD

As with many conversations one person’s personal experience speaking to another person can lead to misconceptions about what some may believe are facts. Let us go over a few of these untruths so you can understand exactly what you need to do for your situation. It is very important that you contact a MOLD REMEDIATION EXPERT if you suspect you have mold in your home or business.

*Bleach will eradicate the mold.

Unfortunately, this is false. We want to eliminate the source of the mold. Not just kill it. Wiping or spraying the surface with bleach does not take it away. Many surfaces have porosity that mold can hide in. High exposure to bleach can also be harmful. Chemicals that get into the air could undeniably cause health issues such as, trouble breathing among other symptoms. Getting to the inside of that surface by way of special products by a professional company that has knowledge and experience is the safest way to put an end to mold all together.

*Mold takes its good old time to grow.

This could not be farther from the truth. In all actuality, mold can grow within 24 to 48 hours after exposure of a water disaster, sewage back up or any moisture in hidden areas. The sooner you call an expert, the less chance the mold has time to spread. This time frame is crucial.

*IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MOLD TO GROW AFTER I DRY OUT THE SPACE.

Mold is tricky to say the least. It is imperative to understand that mold can become dormant even after drying that area. Waiting for the right environment to grow again. As mold becomes resilient the possibility of it breaking can spread through your HVAC system and can become airborne to your surroundings. Dormant mold should be concerning to any homeowner or business. People with allergies are particularly susceptible to undesirable reactions.

*FINAL WORDS.
