Here are four important tips for people as they begin the process of drying out and eliminating conditions that promote black mold growth.

1. Ideally, the home should be dried out in 24-48 hours.
2. Porous items such as clothing, upholstered furniture, and other fabrics hold a lot of moisture and promote black mold growth. They need to be dried quickly. If they can't be dried out in 24-48 hours, throw them out.
3. Humidity in the air promotes rampant black mold growth. Well-placed fans, adequate ventilation, and whole-house dehumidifiers can be used to adjust ambient humidity below 50 percent.
4. Ceilings, floors, and walls may need to be exposed to promote drying. Porous construction materials that are wet (compressed wood products, carpeting, ceiling tiles, drywall, etc.) should be removed and disposed of quickly and properly.

People who live in areas of Winchester, VA that are prone to flooding may have to deal with black mold removal. Make certain you dry out the area as quickly as possible. If you have water in your basement, and standing water shows the damage is already done, leaving it there longer can make it worse and ultimately lead to black mold growth.

If you see black mold, hire a licensed mold remediation contractor for black mold removal that serves homeowners and businesses in Winchester, VA. Get multiple bids and make sure the mold remediation company contracts are precise and specific.

• If black mold is visually apparent, correct known moisture problems and clean up black mold contamination and bypass mold testing.
• For areas less than 10 square feet with black mold growth, a home or business owner may be capable of performing the work. For larger areas, a licensed, qualified mold remediation contractor who has experience in black mold removal or environmental contamination may be required.
• Professionals performing black mold removal work need to be protected with gloves, a HEPA certified respirator, and disposable, protective clothing and goggles.

If you suspect your home harbors ideal conditions for the growth of dangerous black mold and may be a prime candidate for black mold removal in Winchester, VA, contact Envirotex Environmental Services right away.
