Basement Mold

Basements are notorious for mold and just because you don’t go down in that dark and damp room doesn’t mean you can avoid the clean up and removal of your basement’s mold.

Mold (fungus) grows and at a rate that’s faster than you think and it won’t stop just because you’re delaying the clean up process. In other words, the longer you wait, the bigger the problem will be.

So once you’ve decided to tackle the mess, make sure the fungi growth is no more than 30 sq feet. Anything bigger than that and you’ll need to contact a professional who specializes in household mold removal.

Then, arm yourself with a pair of rubber gloves, a respiratory mask and the right
mold and mildew removal products designed specifically for the task. Finally, follow the product’s instructions and repeat if necessary.

Be sure to check back in a few days to make sure your mold removal process was thorough. Otherwise your basement will be right back to where you started from and it will be all for nothing.
