How to Remove Mold Caused by Water Damage

When it comes to removing mold caused by water exposure, professional cleaners or remediators may use special techniques. In this article, we'll provide tips and techniques to help you solve your mold problem. Keep in mind that mold can cause stains and aesthetic damage, and it may not be possible to clean an item to restore its original appearance. One of the methods used by professionals is wet vacuuming.

Wet vacuums are designed to collect water from floors, carpets and hard surfaces where water has accumulated. However, they should not be used for vacuuming porous materials, such as gypsum board. It's also important to use them only when the materials are still wet, as mold and mold spores can stick to surfaces. You may suspect that there is hidden mold if a building smells like mold, but you can't see its source or if you know that there has been water damage and the building's occupants report that they have health problems.

To prevent mold after water damage, it's important to act quickly in an emergency. You should also make sure that your bathroom fan is big enough. Here are some tips to help you prevent water damage and mold growth in the first place, and tips for managing these situations if they occur.
