Basement Mold Removal
The basement provides fertile conditions for the growth of mold. All surfaces in the basement are susceptible to mold especially wood, ceiling tiles and walls. Leaky pipes can cause water to accumulate causing the growth of spores. The lack of ventilation systems in the basement also contribute to the growth mold and mildew. If yours is an unfinished basement, then its likely to be dark and dingy, making it hard to spot mold and mildew until it has spread.
Of all the places where mold can fester and grow, the basement is the most dangerous. This is because the spores can easily find their way out of the basement and into the main house above through the vents and ducts of the HVAC system in the basement. Once inside the main house, these spores will feely disperse into the air, and begin to settle down in different parts of the house, causing severe Asthma and other respiratory illnesses. To combat mold and mildew in your basement, make sure there are sufficient artificial ventilation systems in place like air conditioners and ceiling fans. Make sure there is no dampness in the basement -- get leaky pipes fixed immediately.
If you notice mold in the basement, don't try to scrub off the spores or wash them with detergent. Scrubbing only shakes the spores free, and detergents are completely useless on mold and mildew.
