A very bad benefit of modern homes and offices buildings, with everything sealed up tight for heating and air conditioning purposes, is no cross ventilation with fresh air. This creates a problem that only proper ducting with the appropriate introduction of fresh air can solve. Until then, there is always a problem of molds in warm, wet areas. One of the areas this growth can catch hold is in the basement. When this happens, basement mold removal is something that should be conducted by the professionals trained for this.
The introduction of molds and, more importantly, the environment for them can be brought about with leaking pipes or water coming in from outside through the walls in the basement. Leaking pipes can be in the upper floors and drain down affecting others areas. The water can bring the moist environment this material needs to grow and the warmth of this space will assist in causing problems in walls, ceilings and furniture.
A way to identify the presence of this, often toxic, organism is to take a good smell in the area. If you find a earthy, damp smell, you might have the beginnings of a dangerous condition. Since some of this growth can be inside the drywall it is important to find out what is happening inside of your walls.
A professional construction company or, better still, a professional mold remediation company, can come in and perform a thorough inspection for you. They will be able to use high technology gear that will sniff out the presence of certain odors. If those are present they can then do the deconstruction necessary to locate the problem.
A do it yourself project is not a good idea unless you have the garments and careful attention to detail the experts can bring to bear on the problem. A full body suit, complete with masks and breathing apparatuses are necessary. The disposal of this material also must be dealt with properly. The permits that are necessary for this are not provided to non licensed personnel.
After locating the presence of this growth, sanitizing agents must be used to kill and remove it from all non porous surfaces. Any other surfaces must be removed, even if that means torn out and contained. This usually means all carpets and drywall that is affected. This will also mean fabric on furniture as well as any wood furniture that has been infected. There is no real way to clean molds from fabrics.
Finding a little mold in a bathroom or on the floor can be cleaned up, or removed, with a little bleach and careful attention to clean an area larger than what is affected. If it is in or under the tiles in a room, these can be removed, cleaned and reinstalled with the proper level of grout. Any mold growth that is under the floor, outside of the walls or above the ceiling should be assigned to the professionals.
The presence of molds can make people very sick. Deaths have been associated with this growth and professionals must be called in to completely remove this danger. The few days needed to completely eradicate this from your structure may have to be spent in a hotel, but even that can be invigorating.
