If you see mold or notice a mildew smell in your home, it’s time to take action. Mold is a sign of moisture that has somehow infiltrated your home. When you have moisture in the drywall, the foundation, or underneath the flooring, you have problems. Allowing moisture to exist leads to the growth of mold spores that can spread quickly. It only takes 24-48 hours for these spores to develop after a water leak. Don’t wait. You need mold removal in Sandy Springs right away. Can Mold Damage My Home? While the real damage to your home’s infrastructure is the direct result of the moisture or leak, mold can make it difficult to make simple repairs. The longer mold grows, the more likely it is that it will seep into drywall and flooring, making it nearly impossible for a simple paint or patch job. In the worst-case scenario, you may end up having to rip out flooring and drywall, which can add up to a lot of money very quickly. Can Mold Make Me Sick? Yes. Mold is not something to ignore. In healthy people, mold can cause respiratory distress, headaches, and make you feel unwell. If there are people in your household who suffer from allergies, lung conditions, or respiratory diseases, mold can lead to worsened, severe symptoms and medical distress. Will DIY Mold Removal Save Me Money? Any DIY project can save money, but this isn’t something that you want to tackle alone. Mold removal is very tricky. It requires professional skill done by mold remediation services that have the certification, experience, and proper equipment to protect your home and its occupants. Homes with black mold always need to call for professional services. Black mold is the most serious form of mold damage and should never be removed by the homeowner. Will I Have to Leave My Home during the Process? That’s a common question and the answer depends on the extent of the damage. For homes with small amounts of mold concentrated in just one or two places in a basement or bathroom, mold removal can be done safely while the homeowner is still living in the home. These jobs are rather quick and easy to attend to. However, if you have a home with mold growth throughout a large portion of the home, it is more likely that you may need to leave the premises. Leaving the home makes the process go faster and you won’t be at risk of exposure. Many homeowners who need to leave their homes during the removal process often plan a getaway to make the time away much more enjoyable. How Much Will Mold Removal Cost? This is a question that doesn’t have a clear-cut answer. For the best estimate, you should call a local mold remediation company that handles mold removal in Sandy Springs. These companies will send a specialist to your home to do an on-site inspection and write up a detailed report. Companies that give quotes over the phone are not likely to be able to give you an accurate quote.
