Sooner or later, homeowners may need some advice about mildew removal. While many varieties of mold can grow in a household environment, mildew is certainly the most common. However, its familiarity doesn’t reduce the potential for damage, health consequences and/or just very unsightly appearance.
Mildew can appear as black, blue-greenish or even white stains and grow almost anywhere in the house. As with most other species of fungi, the common denominator in the growth of mildew is the presence of moisture. While DIY methods of mildew removal may provide at least cosmetic improvement, the potential for recurrence is high because any spores left untreated will multiply and regrowth will eventually resume. Professional remediation is usually recommended for any cases that resist home remedies.
Here’s how the pros handle mildew removal:
- Inspection – A professional inspects your home down to the most minute level for the presence of fungus and spores. They’re familiar with common locations you may be unaware of and also have the expertise and technology to recognize milder growth in its various stages.
- Removal – To achieve lasting results, a competent mildew treatment plan requires specialized techniques to diagnose the growth of fungi as well as professional biocides and sanitizers to treat each occurrence.
- Restoration – Where damage from mildew has occurred, a professional mold remediation service can make or suggest measures to correct the damage. They can also point out steps you can take to prevent recurrence such as boosting air circulation, sealing structural gaps that admit moisture and reducing indoor humidity with exhaust fans and dehumidifiers.
