Basement Mold Removal

Since moisture is a leading cause of mold it is very important to keep it at a level, if possible, where it does not start to breed unwanted bacteria.  We commonly call it mold. One of the areas in the home that gets more moisture normally, than any other area of the home, is the basement.  Basements also typically have the worst ventilation of the entire house, so moisture usually has no way to escape, leading to mold contamination. Thus, basement mold can be caused by a few of the following issues:

§  Condensation in the basement can cause mold. Moisture condensates on the outside of pipes because of the cool temperatures. If this moisture collects, mold will form.

§  Flooding water that is not taken care of and removed immediately will lead to mold buildup. Dangerous molds can grow in your basement if it is not dried, quickly following a flood or any other type of water damage.

§  High levels of humidity in your basement is yet another way for mold to grow in your home.

§  Leaking pipes, cracks in the home’s foundation, and leaking gutters can all bring more moisture into the basement. If these leaks are not addressed immediately, mold will build up rapidly.  And while this list is not exhaustive, there are so many more ways that moisture tries to find a hiding place in the home.

Mold produces dangerous spores that can harm many people. People with allergic reactions to mold and those with vulnerable immune systems are especially susceptible to mold exposure. Other more dangerous types of mold, such as toxic molds, can cause damage to anyone, even if they are perfectly healthy.

There are so many ways water can infiltrate a structure.  One of the ways shown above is through a burst pipe from serious plumbing issues.  Fortunately, this is a visible scenario of what can take place.  Oftentimes, the water damage can take place behind the walls and go unnoticed for weeks, maybe even months before detected.  If this happens then mold remediation might become a sure necessity, and not just simple mold removal.  This is where it could get costly.  As not only is there a need for plumbing repairs, but a need for water damage restoration, possibly professional mold remediation, and damage restoration of the walls, flooring and other areas because of the inundation of excess water.

Our senses go into action fast when it comes to water infiltration issues.  Hearing dripping water, or running water, smelling the moisture or bacterium activity from the excess water, touching the areas with our fingers might denote wetness, dampness and excess moisture.
