How To Find Affected Areas For Mold Removal


The southeastern coastal states have some of the most intense humidity in the continental United States, and because of that, the area tends to have a lot of mold and mildew inside and outside homes. How can you fight the seemingly losing battle against mold removal in Greenville? You have to be vigilant and stay on top of mold and mildew development. Sometimes you cannot prevent it from growing in certain less ventilated areas of your home, but you can spot it when it comes up and have professionals at ACC Cleaning in Greenville come to take care of it for you. Here are some tips for staying on top of the mold problem.
Be Aware Of Symptoms
Even if your home looks completely clean and you cannot visibly see any mold on the walls, ceilings, or floors, you could still have mold lurking about within your walls. How are you supposed to know that there is mold in your home if you cannot see it? You should always be aware of the symptoms of mold. Mold spores can get into your lungs and cause respiratory problems that could be potentially dangerous for seniors or babies, but definitely annoying to everyone. If you develop any kind of respiratory problem or have frequent headaches, you could have mold growth in your home and you should have a mold removal specialist in Greenville check it out immediately.

Move Items
Though it may seem like a simple thing to do, many people don’t think to move things around when they are looking for mold. For example, they may look at the walls around their washer, and the ceiling,  and the floor, but actually moving the washer to look behind or under it might not even cross their mind. If you smell mold, you likely have mold somewhere, so you should be thorough in your search. Of course, you could call a mold removal professional instead and have them look for it for you. A professional’s search is much more efficient because they have thermal technology that will be able to pinpoint even small amounts of moisture within walls and flooring. If you are not in the position where you can physically move things or you don’t have the time, contact a professional.
Know High-Risk Areas
There are, of course, some areas in your home that are more prone to developing mold than others. These places include basically any room that has access to plumbing, but the risk will go up if it is in a basement or in a low ventilated area. If the humidity in your home seems impossible to regulate, consider installing a bathroom fan and running it regularly in your bathrooms or get a dehumidifier to run in your basement or rooms that are high risk for mold. Prevention is the best way to avoid mold issues.
Mold can be difficult to find, but its presence is usually made known by the smell it puts off or the way it affects your body. If you see, smell, or feel mold affecting your body, contact a mold removal crew as soon as possible.
