Why DIY Mold Removal is a Bad Idea

 

DIY is a bad idea

DIY mold removal is a big mistake!

You can do a lot of things in life and sometimes do-it-yourself things work out. But this does not mean you should perform every job around your home by yourself or with the aid of a simple video online. For some jobs, it is extremely important to call in a professional. When you need a mold remediation, it is important to call in a professional like Environmental Consulting and Contracting Group! Why shouldn’t you attempt it on your own? We can tell you!

DIY Can Make Matter Worse

Mold is not just the black, green, or white smudges on your wall. It is actually airborne in your home all the time and can quickly spread itself over a large area inside your home if it isn’t handled correctly. Brushes can work wonders on most of your household dirt but a DIY treatment using a brush or vacuum on mold can actually make it worse. This type of treatment can send mold spores to nearby surfaces, into the air, and even into the home’s ventilation systems so it is able to grow somewhere else. While many DIY-ers think doing everything themselves save money, it can actually cost more in the long run as you risk your health and home to save money.

DIY Can Have Consequences

There are more than a dozen different types of mold that can grow in your home and each of them has different characteristics and symptoms that could affect you and your family. From allergens to organ failure, these molds can cause serious consequences if they are not removed from your home correctly. Unless you know what kind of mold you are dealing with, handling the mold the wrong way could prove harmful and even deadly. The only way to know what kind of mold is lurking around your home is to have a mold test performed by a professional mold testing service.

DIY Mold Removal is Harmful to the Touch

Only a professional mold remediation service will be able to remove the mold correctly without allowing the spores to travel around your home. A mold professional will also have the correct equipment to remove this foe. While you may think it is enough to simply get a pair of rubber gloves and a face mask, mold removal is more complicated. This removal is more than just removing dirt from your home, it needs the skills and protection only a professional mold remediation service, like Environmental Consulting and Contracting Group, can offer. So what are you waiting for? Put down the DIY guide and call us today!
