Basement Waterproofing: Understanding Mold Remediation
Mold remediation is important when it comes to basement waterproofing. New Jersey has plenty of contractors to help resolve any problems you might come across.
(firmenpresse) - In this area of New England, preventing the presence and spread of mold is just one of the many reasons why you should consider basement waterproofing. New Jersey has many well-known contractors with years of experience in these areas so you don’t have to worry about mold becoming a bigger problem later on. Any kind of fungus present in your home can cause issues, from health problems to structural damage, plus it looks awful. As part of maintaining and repairing your basement waterproofing, New Jersey companies will always recommend that you get such problems resolved as soon as possible.
What to Look Out For
Just like with the presence of water in your foundations, mold has its own list of tell-tale signs. However, in this area the two often come in a pair so if you’ve found water in your basement, waterproofing New Jersey professionals are likely to find the start of a mold problem. Here are a few signs to look for:
Visible fungus
Must smell
Rust
Water damage
Leaks
Family members experiencing allergy symptoms
Once you’ve identified the problem, the next step is finding a local expert in remediation to ensure that the mold is eliminated for good.
How it works
As with most property maintenance, every situation is unique. However, there is a basic step-by-step process involved when it comes to remediation, and the first step is locating the water leakage. Simply cleaning up the mold won’t solve the issue in the long term. It’s essential that the source of water is found and any leak is repaired so that the fungus doesn’t come back.
Next up is isolation. Your basement waterproofing New Jersey company will ensure that the affected area is separated so that the fungus spores can’t spread throughout your home. This usually involves sealing windows and covering openings with plastic sheets for maximum safety. This will be important as they will then remove the damaged areas, which might be parts of the wall, ceiling or even floorboards. Anything that’s porous will have to go, and the amount that’s removed will depend on the severity of your contamination.
Once all the mold has been extracted, the treated area will be sprayed with a biocide to ensure that the spores aren’t able to grow back. Finally, the remediated areas will be left to dry (this can take up to a few days). In some cases, materials will need to be replaced, such as drywall and carpets.
Remediation vs. Removal
They sound the same but as any experienced basement waterproofing professional will know, they are not. To put it simply, removal treats the visible problem while remediation treats the root cause. While the latter is a longer process, it’s definitely worth it as it will prevent mold contamination from recurring.
Mold problems tend to creep up on homeowners. They might seem small now but they can turn into a huge issue, so it’s best to ensure that you use an experienced contractor when maintaining your basement waterproofing. New Jersey has a wealth of reputable companies to choose from, so there’s no excuse to allow mold to fester in your home.
