THE DO's AND DON'Ts OF MOLD
|
THE DO's:
- Call an inspection company to investigate the issue.
- Have professional remediation performed. Attempting to clean mold and remove it
on your own will only make the matter worse and put you and others at risk.
THE DON'Ts:
- Do not disturb mold colonies after you've located them. Air motion will send millions
of viable spore into the air, croos-contaminating the rest of the rooms/structure.
- Do not continue remodeling if you open up ceilings or walls and find mold, stop until the hazard can be analyzed. Tearing out moldy building materials has the same
effect as above.
- Do not try to kill mold with bleach or other fungicides. It does not remove the
toxins from the air. A dead spore will continue to give off toxins until it is removed.
- Do not seal and paint over mold. It does not kill the mold or remove the toxins.
It is only a short-term fix while poor health symptoms will continue.
