Mold Remediation in Doctor Phillips
Mold Remediation in Doctor Phillips - Should you hire a company like us, Hero Remediation, or should you try to clean the issue yourself? Hiring a licensed and professional mold remediation company is very important. A qualified mold remediation company like us are highly trained to make sure that the mold issue is gone, and we also know how to keep it from coming back.

This is very important, because according to the CDC, mold can have very serious health effects that can plague you for many years to come. But what are some things to consider before choosing to clean it yourself or to hire a professional?

Mold…Should You Remove It Yourself?
With all the information we receive on a regular basis about the health hazards of mold - a homeowner might wonder if its OK to remove it themselves.  While there are a variety of factors which determine this, a homeowner should be able to clean up mold themselves if the area it covers is less than 10 feet.  However, before you start such a task, here are a few things to keep in mind:
 
Mold cannot grow without the presence of water.  This means that there may be an underlying issue such as a water leak that you will need to diagnose and treat first, otherwise, the mold problem will keep recurring.
 
You can remove mold from hard surfaces with EPA approved detergents/cleaners.  Scrub the area thoroughly and make sure the area is completely dry before you apply any paint, if not, the paint could start to peel.  Do not apply caulk to a moldy surface either. 
 
There are some areas where mold and mildew are very difficult to get rid of, carpeting is one of those areas.  If a carpet in your home has mold, it is better to replace it.  When mold forms on soft furnishings such as curtains and cushions, it is extremely difficult to remove the stains it leaves behind.  If you desire to keep them, it would be best to seek advice from a furniture restoration company.
 
Before you start the mold cleanup process, make sure you have the proper protective clothing and wear a respirator to prevent inhaling mold spores.  Keep other household members away from the area unless they are wearing protective gear also. 

What if the Area is More than 10 Square Feet?
If this is the case - then hire a professional mold remediation company in Doctor Phillips like us. We will make sure that you get the mold remediation you need - when you need it.
