Mold Remediation Vs Mold Removal – Which One Should You Do? Grand Rapids, MI
Have you noticed dark spots in your home? Do you notice a musty smell? You probably have a mold infestation. The question now is whether you should go for mold removal or mold remediation.
What’s the difference?
Mold removal and mold remediation are terms that are often used interchangeably. However, if you want the best results and enjoy a mold-free home for a long time, you must understand the difference between these two approaches. You will then be able to choose the approach that suits your needs best.
Mold removal is getting rid of the visible signs of a mold infestation. It cleans up areas that are infested by mold. Many people use bleach and vinegar to remove the visible signs of decay. It may also involve the removal of infected materials such as drywall or upholstery. You may also choose to hire a professional service to remove the mold.
Removal of mold is a necessary step in getting rid of mold. It helps to restore infected surfaces. However, it doesn’t get rid of hidden mold sources. If you stop at removal, you will most likely experience repeated mold infestations in the future.
Mold remediation removes mold spores from home. It is aimed at restoring mold spore levels to normal. It also involves cleaning the house. However, it also requires air purification. Unlike mold removal, you can’t carry out mold remediation independently. It requires specialized equipment and expertise. It is, therefore, a job that a professional contractor can only do.
Mold remediation ensures that mold spores are removed from the home. It attacks hidden mold infestations and reduces the possibility of experiencing future infestations.
Which approach is best?
Many people who want to save money will attempt mold removal independently. However, they find that they are dealing with repeat infestations. They are also continually exposed to mold spores putting their health at risk.
If you want to enjoy a mold-free home for the long term, it is best to hire a professional that applies both removal and remediation to get rid of mold. This will ensure that surfaces are restored while getting rid of visible and hidden mold. Getting rid of decay for the long term will save you money, protect your property and protect the health of your household.
