Mold Remediation

Your Local Mold Remediation Experts Colorado

Mold is quite common within our daily lives since it is one of nature’s best modes of decomposition. However, you certainly do not want these little colonies targeting your home and causing health related side effects with their presence.

There are several ways you can prevent mold growth within your home but the main preventative technique is moisture control. The dryer you can keep your property, the less likely you will have a mold problem.

Sometimes moisture can be extremely difficult to control- especially if your home experienced a water damage event that was not properly mitigated. In these situations, it is quite common for mold colonies to take root and spread into areas around the house.

6 Ways you can Prevent Mold Growth on Your Property

The least expensive type of mold remediation is prevention, so we strive to educate our clients on which preventative measure to take in order to avoid future problems.

Clean up water spills/ damage immediately

Make sure to clean up spills immediately. Mold will typically start to colonize within 24 hours if the environmental conditions are right. If you have experienced a large water loss such as a pipe failure or flood in your home, calling a professional restoration company would be wise. They have the tools and equipment to immediately extract the water and work on drying out the affected areas.

Keep air conditioning drains clear of clogs or obstructions

When our air conditioning lines get clogged up, it can cause condensation to back up and flow into our basements attics or HVAC closets where the A/C unit resides. If gone un-noticed, this can lead to the type of water damage that can contribute to mold growth.

Address humidity levels within the property

Make sure to keep humidity levels below 60% relative humidity if you can. Ideal conditions can be anywhere between 30% or 50% relative humidity. Being in Colorado, this can be achieved in a few different ways, but during months of higher humidity, it would be beneficial to seek out a professional for advice on keeping the moisture content at lower levels in your home.

Ensure circulation throughout the home

To keep circulation flowing through your home, take time to open windows and doors on a periodic basis. You can also turn on the fans throughout the home to avoid any type of stagnant air.
