  • Mold Removal

When you discover mold in your home, you may have questions about what you can do and what you should do. Fortunately, there are plenty of great resources that will help you choose the best course of action. In this article, you’ll learn about the best ways to eliminate mold from your home.

The most obvious way to eliminate mold from your home is to prevent it in the first place. This can be accomplished by having good drainage and proper ventilation. Also, consider installing exhaust fans in your kitchen and laundry room. You can also purchase a dehumidifier to keep your home at 65 degrees, which will discourage mold growth. If you can’t avoid moisture, then you can at least make your home less susceptible to it by fixing leaks and repairing plumbing.

While the “mood” of a mold-free home is definitely desirable, the most beneficial step you can take is to find the source of the moisture and fix it. To do this, you should check the leaks in your pipes. You should also be on the lookout for other damp areas in your home. By sealing these off, you will ensure that the mold won’t be able to spread.

For the most part, however, the best way to remove mold from your home is to hire a professional mold removal service. These professionals will use specialized equipment, which will get rid of the fungus in the most efficient manner.

Aside from using a dehumidifier, the easiest way to prevent mold from taking hold is to keep your house well ventilated. Make sure that your air conditioning filters are clean. Also, check your gutters for blockage. Keep in mind that mold can grow on virtually any surface in your home, so you’ll need to be careful when cleaning.

As for what the best way to remove mold is, it depends on the type of mold you have. Some types are easy to remove, while others are not. There are even aggressive types, which require the services of a heavy-duty chemical to get the job done. However, if your mold problem is just a small patch, you can try some DIY remedies.

Using a dehumidifier and exhaust fans will help. In fact, a dehumidifier can help reduce humidity as much as 65 percent. Similarly, installing a fan can be helpful in your bathroom. Finally, you should make sure to replace your air conditioning filters.

Another oh-so-simple way to prevent mold is to run the bath fan. Of course, you should also be aware of the various health effects of exposure to mold. Mold spores can cause a variety of ailments, from allergies to respiratory issues. Thus, getting rid of the fungus is a worthwhile investment.

It’s also important to note that, if you can’t completely eliminate the mold, you will need to have it removed. That’s why it’s a smart move to seek out a professional. They will be able to find the source of the moisture and ensure that your home is free from mold spores.

What People Are Saying...

Working with Mario and his team at United Restoration Services was a pleasure! His team quickly came to our residence after we experienced severe water damage. They were calm, walked us through the process, and, remediated and cleaned all the damaged areas. They guided us through the claims process, and were highly professional. These situations are very stressful, and Mario's follow-up afterwards was very helpful!
United Restoration services are top notch. They cleaned a house we had been renting for the past year. No detail escaped them. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and got right to work. I have never seen such exacting attention to the cleaning process. The house sparkled after they were finished. Would totally recommend without hesitation!!!
A pipe burst, my condominium was flooded; two floors and one ceiling were ruined. Not more than a few hours passed before an entire crew showed up (at night) to begin the clean up, place five industrial-type fans between the two floors, returned the following day to continue with clean up. Members of this team continued for several days to return, remove garbage, check on wetness, etc. This group, headed by Mario Lutz was incredible.
This letter should reflect more than a thank you. This letter is authorization for you to give my name and number to anyone that requires your services. They will be told of your knowledgeable communication, ability to handle any size job, meet deadlines , and willingness to work with other contractors to ensure no delays. Thank you again for performance instead of excuses.
I cannot fully express how pleased I was with the service provided by United Restoration Services Inc. Cynthia Mason and her wonderful crew completed the job on time (very reliable), the work was above and beyond my expectations. If their service is required, I strongly recommend them.
