How Long Does it Take for Mold to Grow After a Flood?

Information may not be reliable

Professionals are equipped with the right equipment and devices to handle your mold problem. Your next-door plumbers or all-around guy don’t have this specialty equipment. The first thing professionals do is checking all mold-infested areas of your property. They will then remove all the water, usually using a pump. Every part of the house where they can find water, including under the floor tiles or carpet, behind the walls and behind baseboards, will be dried.

 

Water Restoration experts have special dryers in all the right places before the molds start to grow and develop. When your house investment is at risk of water damage, it is always a smart thing to call in the professionals especially if you have doubts about how to deal with the mold situation on your own.      

 

Professional mold testing companies use mold testing to determine if you have a mold problem. Though you can buy the kit over the counter, the testing itself is recommended to be performed by qualified mold professionals. They can give you the proper and accurate results for your mold problem.   

 

If you suspect or notice molds, such as a musty smell or mold exposure symptoms, mold testing can:

·  help you identify the type of mold

·  find where the mold is growing

·  test your indoor air quality by measuring the number of spores in the air

·  be used to know and test if the mold has been totally removed from your home

 

As per Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), any moldy areas less than 10 square feet (about 3 feet by 3 feet) can be remediated by the homeowner, but beyond that, it is better to call in the remediation contractor for safety and health concerns, especially for homeowners or residents.  

 

Although any homeowner can perform Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mold removal, the possible lapse is that there is no guarantee that the molds have totally been removed. Since molds are everywhere, they can be on hard-to-reach areas, and what is worse is missed mold that could multiply again, making you redo your work. It is best to hire the nearest mold remediation company and have your home cleared of mold once and for all.
