MOLD REMOVAL IN THE HOME

DIY VS PROS

Additional Considerations for Dealing with Mold

Pay particular attention to the state of your home towards the end of the year, and when the weather is at its worst.

Minor damage to a roof or window can lead to leakages, which turn a room into a breeding ground for bacteria.

Prolonged exposure to mold can also have a detrimental effect on your health. Learn the signs above, so that you can take action before your long-term health is affected.

If you suffer from regular rashes, joint pain, nasal congestion, or any of the other symptoms listed, it may be the result of unseen mold in your home. This must be removed as quickly and as safely as possible.

If you regularly have mold problems, consider making changes to increase the ventilation and reduce the humidity around your home.

Opening a window for ten minutes each morning can help combat the slow build-up of moisture and mold, which can damage the aesthetics and structural integrity of rooms, including bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms.
