When mold starts growing in your home, it is a serious problem that needs to be dealt with right away. While small areas of mold can often be cleaned with sprays and chemicals bought in a store, large amounts of mold will need to be properly removed by a professional. If you’ve recently scheduled mold removal for your home, you may be wondering what the best way is to prepare your home. Here are some tips to get you ready:
Don’t Move Items and Furniture. If you have belongings in the affected area, it is best to leave them where they are. Resist the urge to clean your belongings and pack them in a separate room. Moving them from the affected area can cause the mold to spread to other areas.
Prepare a List of Questions. You may have many questions for the mold removal crew. What is your process? How long will this take? Will you do an air quality sample? Have your questions ready to go before the arrival of the crew.
Find Somewhere Else to Stay. If your home has a serious mold issue, the air quality in your home will be poor and could be damaging to you and your family. The mold removal process is also quite intensive, and you may not want to be around for it. Finding somewhere for your family and pets to stay during the removal process is the best option.
Mold is not something to be taken lightly. If you have a mold issue, call for professional help right away to ensure that it is removed properly and safely.
