How To Get Rid of Mold in Pegram 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 Pegram home, rest assured; that the experts at Emergency Response Team can help. We have been removing mold from Pegram buildings for 14 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 wallboards can be replaced. For quick response, call (615) 709-9478 for a Pegram mold inspection by Emergency Response Team.
