Homes in Winnipeg frequently develop mold problems. The mold grows in moist areas like the bathroom and basement. There are many companies that provide mold removal services in Winnipeg. The cost of mold removal in Winnipeg like in other cities depends on several factors such as the size of the home and the level of contamination. Generally level 3 mold removal is the most expensive. Before you pay for mold removal or you undertake mold removal yourself, it is a good idea to perform mold testing to determine if you have a mold problem and if so which types of mold are growing in your home and the extent of mold growth.
Mold testing in Winnipeg
You can pay a professional mold inspector to perform mold testing for you. However, in most cases you can test the mold yourself thus saving yourself money. While there are many mold test kits available at hardware stores, home supply warehouses and online, we DO NOT recommend any kit that is said to give instant mold test results. You should use the same equipment and the same labs that professional mold inspectors use. If you want to test for visible mold growth we recommend using clear scotch tape which you can easily obtain from a dollar store. If you would like to test for air quality in your home, then we would recommend the mold test kit used by mold professionals.
When Can You Perform Mold Removal Yourself?
If the total area covered by mold growth in your home is less than 10 square feet, then, with proper protection you can remove mold with ordinary household cleaning products. It is important to remember that disturbing big infestations can lead to mold exposure. Mold exposure is bad for your health, particularly if you are an allergy sufferer or have a weakened immune system. If you have than 10 square feet, consider hiring a mold removal company. If you don’t know any mold removal company in Winnipeg, use Google or other search engines to search for “mold removal in Winnipeg” to find local companies that provide mold removal services. It’s important you get quotes from several companies. The quote should include the procedure they use to remove mold and references from their past happy clients.
Mold Growth Prevention
As mentioned earlier mooisture is the major course of mold growth. After mold removal you can prevent mold from growing again by keeping the area dry. Make sure any leaks that contributed to moisture are properly sealed. If mold growth was due to high humidity, you may consider installing a dehumidifier in rooms that have poor ventilation. Whenever showering or cooking, ensure the fans are on to reduce accumulation of moisture indoors. In the shower or bath, take a moment to dry the tub or shower after each use to reduce moisture in the air. Regularly cleaning your home will also keep mold from regrowing again.
