One of the best ways to avoid an expensive mold removal operation in your home is to develop a good mold prevention strategy. As with most unwanted organisms, the key to preventing mold is knowing what it likes. If you can remove the conditions and factors that are favorable to mold growth, then the chances are good that you can prevent a full-blown mold infestation. Mold is a subspecies of fungi. Like most fungi, mold thrives in areas that are moist and dark. Molds are very common in household bathrooms and air ducts for exactly these reasons. These areas can become ultimate hotbeds for unbridled mold growth. A common type of mold is Stachybotrys chartarum, which feeds on paper, dust, lint, and other high-cellulose items. If your home has experienced leakage or a flood, you will have to be particularly vigilant when it comes to preventing mold growth. Experts recommend cleaning up any and all water within 12 to 24 hours after the flooding in order to have the best chance of preventing widespread mold growth. Cleaning up the visible water is really just the beginning. Extracting Water: Destroying Mold-Friendly Environments
After you have removed any standing water from your home, you can then deal with any water-soaked items in your home. If you happen to have carpeting and rugs, this issue becomes even more complicated. Carpeting with padding is the ultimate mold hotspot, and it is imperative that all the water is extracted from the carpeting. Arizona Fire and Water Restoration, Inc. has a variety of tools for extracting water safely and quickly from carpets, rugs, and the air itself. They have sophisticated dehumidifiers that they can adjust according to the relative humidity of the space. This ensures that the air is dehumidified as quickly and efficiently as possible.
