How Do I Test For Mold in my Winterhaven Home?

How can you tell if you have mold? If you had a water leak or flooding and experienced standing water or prolonged (more than 24 hours) moisture, there is a good chance that water seeped behind your drywall or under your floorboards. If not thoroughly dried, the conditions were likely ripe for microbial growth, including mold. You might see greenish-blackish growth in cracks in corners or you might detect a musty odor. If you have experienced any of this, call the mold detection experts at Yuma Water and Mold Restoration right away to deploy our Winterhaven mold detection services.

How To Get Rid of Mold in Winterhaven Homes:

Once your building tests positive for mold, it is important to remove it promptly and completely. The mold itself will need to be removed, as well as the items that allowed it to grow in the first place. If you are uncertain as to the proper removal of mold in your Winterhaven home, rest assured; the experts at Yuma Water and Mold Restoration can help. We have been removing mold from Winterhaven buildings for 9 years. First, the mold needs to be detected. Often flooring and walls must be removed for proper inspection, and to assess the extent of the mold growth. It is important to use proper safety equipment when dealing with mold removal (gloves, masks, and glasses). Once detected, all surfaces must be scrubbed with bleach and water, or another solution that will effectively kill the mold spores. Next, the areas must be thoroughly dried. Often, commercial air movers are used to rapidly and completely dry all affected areas. Then flooring and wall boards can be replaced. For quick response, call (928) 597-5132 for a Winterhaven mold inspection by Yuma Water and Mold Restoration.
