Mold growing in your home is a major problem with potentially serious health consequences for members of your family, especially those with breathing problems. Big Mountain Insulators, mold inspection experts serving all of Northwest Montana, are here to explain the basic principles of mold removal, no matter what color or type of mold.

If you find mold in your home, you should always:

• Attack The Source: Attack the mold propagation at its source by removing it from the drywall, replacing the surface if necessary, and repairing the water source that promotes the growth.
• Clean The Air: Use High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to remove any spores from the air, which can irritate those with allergies and cause the growth to reappear later. Only HEPA air scrubbers and filters can completely remove particulates as small as mold spores.
• Stay Protected: Always wear proper safety gear, including vinyl gloves, high-filtration masks, and a full protective suit if you're dealing with the harsh chemicals mold remediation sometimes requires.
• Quarantine The Work Area: Seal off the area with plastic sheeting, as removing a mold infestation often throws off spores which can take root elsewhere in your home.

Without professional mold remediation assistance and the proper equipment, removing mold growth for good can be extremely difficult. Big Mountain Insulators has the skills and equipment to help get rid of even the worst mold infestations safely and ensure that they won't come back.
