Hire a mould removal specialist to prevent further mould contamination
At Capital Facility Services we encounter extensive situations where DIY mould removal goes wrong. Mould that is imbedded into building structures like plaster is often wrongly considered to be surface mould and homeowners try to clean it themselves. The results can be disastrous with mould spores spreading and causing further mould contamination.
Mould removal specialists are trained to identify surface mould vs imbedded mould. They know that imbedded mould can only be removed if it is cut out and disposed carefully in a contained environment where effective air filtration is undertaken using specialised devices that remove mould spores from the environment, reducing any risk of further spreading the mould.
A Mould Removal Expert uses the correct procedures minimising health risks
Mould removal experts use respirators and the proper PPE to manage mould without putting their health at risk. They set up contained environments when they are handling toxic mould to ensure that they do not put the health of others at risk.
Mould is toxic to the health and wellbeing of humans and our pets. It is known to cause;
- Sneezing.
- Runny or stuffy and blocked noses
- Coughing
- Itchy and Watery eyes
- Dry, scaly skin
- Scratchy throat
- It can ignite Asthma
- Long term exposure to mould can cause persistent headaches and migraines, high levels of exhaustion, cramping and severe respiratory issues
A DIY approach to mould is likely to agitate the mould spores and cause them to become airborne, putting the health of your family and pets at risk, so be careful if you are considering cleaning extensive mould yourself.
Mould assessment and mould removal using a certified Mould Remediation Company
Always use a certified Mould Removal company to assess and determine the type of mould issue you have, the extent of the issue and the best way to remove the mould. Cleaning surface mould is possible using the correct procedures, however, if mould is imbedded into the affected material, then it must be cut out in a controlled environment and be carefully disposed of.
If there is moisture feeding the mould a specialist restoration company, like Capital Facility Services, will identify the presence of moisture and its extent and will focus on identifying the likely cause of the water ingress that is responsible for mould growth. The moisture issue will need to be resolved otherwise the mould is very likely to return.
If you are after mould removal experts call us and we can work with you to determine the best way to address your mould issue safely and without compromising your health and without making your mould problem an even bigger one.
