The cleanup and removal of mold is different from the other forms of restoration in that the area that is affected by the mold needs to be cordoned off and contained in order to prevent the mold from spreading to other areas of the property. Because of the size and permeation of some mold growths, it can be hard to find and locate the source of the mold. Mold is commonly found under carpets or flooring, in HVAC/AC Systems, on porous wood surfaces or concrete, and within older magazines and books.
The mold removal process also requires certain precautions to be taken into consideration. This is to protect not only the safety of the restoration professional but also anyone else who may be working and/or living in the same building. Mold spreads very easily and rapidly – just brushing against the mold growth can cause it to release hundreds of thousands of spores into the air. The spores use the air as a means of transportation (just like some plant seeds do) and can get caught up in a home or business’ ventilation system, which can greatly help the mold to spread and grow in other areas of the property.
