Mold Tips

6/29/2018 (Permalink)

The very thought of potential mold in your home is scary. Thoughts like ‘what will it do to my family?’ or ‘Is that why I’ve been getting sick so much?’ The very sight of mold is terrifying, and the same thoughts run through your head. If you think you do see mold in your home, do not touch or disturb it in way. Mold that’s touched or disturbed will become airborne and circulate your home, potentially causing a larger infestation and health risks. So, what should, and shouldn’t you do when it comes to mold?

First things first, call SERVPRO of Lake Worth/Benbrook! We will be on our way with our certified mold mitigation specialists. In the meantime, stay out of the area that you suspect has mold growth. If your HVAC or any fans are running, turn those off to make sure to limit the spread of spores – don’t blow air across it either. Don’t spray bleach on the mold either, because it will release those spores and toxins into the air. And don’t attempt to dry the area yourself.

We are highly trained and certified to handle mold remediation and restoration, and we use specialized techniques and equipment to take care of the problem safely and quickly.
