Can You Remove Mold Yourself?

Mold Remediation Information for Alabama Homeowners

 

Mold Cleanup

Who should do the cleanup depends on a number of factors. One consideration is the size of the mold problem. If the area is less than about 10 square feet (less than roughly a 3 ft. by 3 ft. area), in most cases, you can handle the job yourself, follow the Mold Cleanup Tips and Techniques. However:

• If there has been a lot of water damage, and/or mold growth covers more than 10 square feet, consult EPA guide Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings. Although focused on schools and commercial buildings, this document is applicable to other building types.

 

• If you choose to hire a contractor (or other professional service provider) to do the cleanup, make sure the contractor has experience cleaning up mold. Check references and ask the contractor to follow the recommendations in EPA guide Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings, the guidelines of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH); Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC); or other guidelines from professional or government organizations. Bio-One of Alabama is one such company, and will come out to give any Alabama homeowner a free estimate, by calling them at (205) 937-1708 or visiting their website at www.bioonealabama.com. 

 

• If you suspect that the heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) system may be contaminated with mold (it is part of an identified moisture problem, for instance, or there is mold near the intake to the system), consult EPA guide Should You Have the Air Ducts in Your Home Cleaned? before taking further action. Do not run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold - it could spread mold throughout the building.

 

• If the water and/or mold damage was caused by sewage or other contaminated water, then call in a professional who has experience cleaning and fixing buildings damaged by contaminated water.

 

• If you have health concerns, consult a health professional before starting cleanup, and call Bio-One of Alabama for a free estimate of the true nature of your mold situation. With three office locations in Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, Bio-One is Alabama's leading mold expert. 

 

Tips and Techniques

• Fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible. Dry all items completely.

 

• Scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water, and dry completely.

 

• Absorbent or porous materials, such as ceiling tiles and carpet, may have to be thrown away if they become moldy. Mold can grow on or fill in the empty spaces and crevices of porous materials, so the mold may be difficult or impossible to remove completely.

 

• Do not paint or caulk moldy surfaces. Clean up the mold and dry the surfaces before painting. Paint applied over moldy surfaces is likely to peel.

 

• If you are unsure about how to clean an item, or if the item is expensive or of sentimental value, you may wish to consult a specialist. Specialists in furniture repair, restoration, painting, art restoration and conservation, carpet and rug cleaning, water damage, and fire or water restoration are commonly listed in phone books. Be sure to ask for and check references. Look for specialists who are affiliated with professional organizations.

Bathroom Ideas

Places that are often or always damp can be hard to maintain completely free of mold. If there's some mold in the shower or elsewhere in the bathroom that seems to reappear, increasing ventilation (running a fan or opening a window) and cleaning more frequently will usually prevent mold from recurring, or at least keep the mold to a minimum.

 

When in doubt, contact Bio-One of Alabama for a free mold analysis of your home.

Suicide Cleanup in Montgomery, AL

Cleaning up after a loved one commits suicide is perhaps the most emotionally daunting task imaginable. Nobody is prepared for that level of trauma, and that is where services like Bio-One come in to lend a helping hand.

Based in Montgomery, Alabama, Bio-One is Alabama's suicide cleanup specialists. We specialize in the the cleanup of suicide, homicide, unattended death/decomposition, trauma, bodily fluids and other services. We offer 24/7 service to help you when you need someone immediately, as well as lend you an ear and emotional support if that is something you need.

Very often we get called by families who have attempted to clean up the aftermath of a suicide themselves - we highly recommend to call a professional, and not do it yourself. Not only to save yourself from the emotional trauma, but because it's unsafe, and unnecessary. 

It's unnecessary because homeowner's insurance covers this type of cleanup - in fact, we rarely encounter a case where it isn't covered by insurance. Bio-One initiates the claims process for you, and does not take advantage of the insurance company - we are actually affordable. It's also unsafe because of bloodborne pathogens, improper PPE when cleaning, unsafe working conditions among many other reasons. 

When a suicide or any biohazardous situation occurs in a home, auto or anywhere where you need us, call Bio-One today at 334-523-9191. We cover all of West-Central Georgia and East-Central Alabama, including Columbus, Phenix City, Bibb City, Fort Benning, Ladonia, La Grange, West Point, Valley, Auburn, Opelika, Tuskegee, Montgomery, Prattville, Selma and all surrounding areas and counties.
