Why Bathroom Mold Removal Needs Professional Assistance

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.

There are a number of reasons why this would show its face in this room. Most of them will involve the presence of moist air and the lack of proper ventilation. The shower, especially a hot one, will fog the mirror and other bright surfaces. It will also seep into the flooring and wallboard. This will set in and if mold spores are introduced, through no fault of the home owner, will feed this health problem and infect more areas of the house.

Mold will be visible on any exposed surfaces. These surfaces will often be under sinks, toilets or around the wall in the shower enclosure. Oftentimes, this will be inside of the skirting of the bathtub and under the fabricated walls. This is where it is more dangerous as it is unseen and, unless the owner has a good sense of smell, will go unknown for quite a while.

While attempting to remove this mold from exposed surfaces, a determination as to whether it is a porous or non porous surface must be made. On non porous surfaces, such as granite, porcelain or tile, a good quality disinfectant is appropriate. Clean the surface with water and soap and apply a disinfectant and allow it to kill any remaining spores. If the surface is porous, such as wood or wallboard, more aggressive measures will need to be employed and a professional will more than likely need to be consulted.

The important part of this kind of removal is getting all of the spores and then preventing them from coming back in. All professional mold workers will mention the need for adequate ventilation and appropriate surfaces to help prevent this re infestation. By ensuring the proper amount of fresh air changes, within the room, is your best defense.

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.

Professional mold remediation technicians can do this work for you. They have the training and equipment, personal as well as mechanical, to perform this safely. They will have the licenses necessary to dispose of this material in the environmental soup of regulations that are out there. Staying safe and healthy is the main reason for this outsourcing and it is the best course to take.
