When Dealing With Bathroom Mold Removal Ask The Professionals

By Sally Delacruz


Mold might be present in your bathroom. That may or may not be a surprise to you, however, this possibility must be checked out. It is bad enough that a large amount of the germs, bacteria and odors are in this room, but mold is another issue altogether. That is why professionals should be called in to deal with the bathroom mold removal process should it be necessary.

The number of reasons that molds will begin their growth in and around the bathroom is quite large. Most of it is because of the moisture that is an almost constant presence in the room. Fogging the mirror and other bright surfaces will indicate a lack of adequate ventilation and will precede a possible mold problem.

Any organism on exposed surfaces will be visible as gray or a darker color approaching black. The problem is that often the contamination will be on surfaces, such as under the skirting of the bathtub or behind walls. This is the dangerous places for them to be and smell is the only way to detect this. That smell is an earthy, moist smell and must be investigated.

In order to remove this organism from exposed surfaces, identify whether it is a porous or non porous surface. Tile, for example is largely non porous and the mold will more than likely stay on the surface. It can be cleaned off with a wet process of soap and water and then a good quality disinfectant. Many home owners use bleach for this as it is handy and does a good job of killing the spores. Porous surfaces will require more advanced and invasive techniques.

Since it is important to keep molds out of this room, after it is cleaned, ventilation is the main thing to install. Making sure that an adequate amount of fresh air is exchanged, at the proper number of changes per hour, will assist in keeping the room fresh. This makes this not a good place for molds as the necessary moist air will not be available to them for growth.

In the vast majority of occasions where these are present, they are under or behind the building materials themselves. This is unfortunate as these materials will have to be removed as well. Wood and other porous items will have been contaminated with these organisms and can not be adequately cleaned. The professionals will be able to provide these services quickly.

When looking for mold it is important that all advantages be taken. The special equipment the professionals have will enable them to detect this dangerous presence behind walls without having to tear them out, first. They can help you identify these organisms and will also provide references that state they have saved many other homes through their efforts.

A very large reason that a professional is the one to accomplish this fairly complicated task is the licenses that are needed for the disposal of this material, once removed. The training these experts have as well as the equipment and experience also plays a large part in the decision to use them. The safety and health of your house, family and visitors will cause the right decision about this important home maintenance activity.
