Mold Remediations

If your home or business in Victoria and area has recently been inspected for and diagnosed with a mold infestation, it is important to have that mold remediated immediately, before it can cause any further health problems or structural damage to your building.

It is important to hire a professional to carry out the mold remediation process. While you might find do-it-yourself solutions to mold problems on the internet, these methods do not work as well as promised. In some cases, these methods can even worsen the issue.

For example, applying bleach to areas where mold is growing often only affects the surface mold, without destroying the roots that mold removal specialists are able to get rid of, allowing the mold to grow back and continue spreading. You may have also have heard that you can paint over mold to stop its growth. Unfortunately, this will not kill or stop the mold. At best, it makes the mold harder to find and deal with its growth appropriately, and at worst the moisture in the paint can help the mold grow even further. As such, having the mold removed permanently by a professional will save you trouble in the long run.

While many molds do not pose a threat to human or animal life, it is still important to get rid of all mold problems whether or not they are hazardous. Removing the mold will alleviate the distinctive smell, something no one wants to be around every day. Mold removal is also necessary for occupants and visitors with allergy and asthma issues.
Perhaps most importantly, even harmless molds are capable of causing structural damage to the building by breaking down the organic components found in wood, drywall, fabrics, and other materials that make up your home and business. The longer you leave any mold alone, the more damage it can cause in the long run.
