Matteson Mold Removal

24 HOUR SERVICE - CALL US AT 1-800-222-6815

Do you have Mold? Is it toxic mold? Do you have water damage from a flooded basement which is causing moisture to buildup in your home or business? The moisture associated with water intrusions will promote the growth of toxic mold such as Stachybotrys, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium.

The longer an indoor contaminant is allowed to remain intact, the greater its potential impact on human health and on the structural integrity of the facility. Mold can grow on most common building materials if they remain wet for 24 to 48 hours. Special care must be taken during the mold removal and restoration process or serious health hazards can develop.

Our mold remediation technicians are fully trained and are proficient with the latest equipment, materials and techniques. We specialize in remediation of mold, bacteria, water and sewage damage cleanup in your facility.

You can reach us at 1-800 222-6815 if you are having any water, sewage, smoke damage, or mold problems!

Easy Mold Removal Tips for Moms

While molds can indeed damage one's home structure, a more critical concern especially for moms is how molds can endanger the health of their kids. Mold contamination can trigger a variety of illnesses that can run the gamut from slight headache to serious pulmonary problems. The responsibility of eliminating health-threatening molds is usually undertaken by moms. When it comes to protecting their homes and their kids, mothers would gladly undertake any number of mold removal steps.

If you're one of those moms who want to protect their family from mold infestation without having to call professional mold removal services, you can do mold removal yourself following the simple do-it-yourself steps listed below.

1. Molds have potential ill effects to one's health. Make sure that you observe certain safety measures to protect your own health. Call your doctor and ask if you have any health problem that might be complicated by mold exposure. Wear protective mask to avoid inhaling mold spores while doing mold cleanup. Keep skin contact with mold to the minimum by wearing rubber gloves. Wear only clothing that you can readily wash or discard.

Remove your kids from areas of contamination during mold removal and cleanup. You can keep them temporarily in a room where they can play and sleep during mold remediation.

2. During mold removal, keep the infested area well ventilated by opening windows. Another way to encourage air flow and keep moisture level at ideal levels is to run your dehumidifier and fan. In fact, keeping your home well-ventilated all the time is also one way to prevent growth and re-growth of molds.

3. When shopping for a mold removal product, carefully read the labels. Some products may contain chemicals that you are allergic to, or can also threaten your kids' health. Handle mold removal solutions with care. A safer alternative would be to use an organic mold cleaner. Organic mold cleaners have become a popular preference for many households because they have been proven to be environmental-friendly and safe for human use.

Instead of ready-to-use mold removal product, you can also use bleach solution to disinfect contaminated areas. Another recommended product to use is hydrogen peroxide (borax or boric acid). It has been proven that Borax kill molds effectively. What's more, borax produces no offensive odor.

If cause of mold growth is flood, it should be your priority to pump out stagnant water and discard saturated porous materials such as contaminated items like beddings, pillows, and comforters. These materials require replacement rather than restoration. This is because no amount of restoration technique can completely eliminate molds hiding inside crevices of fluffy materials.

4. Ammonia and bleach shouldn't ever be mixed together. You'd create toxic chlorine gas if you do so.

If you have asthma, skin allergy, or poor resistance, then you should set aside money for mold remediation services. Of course, doing mold removal yourself is less costly solution to eliminating molds from your home. However, you should take the do-it-yourself option only when you are fit for doing so.
