Here’s Why DIY Mold Removal in Santa Rosa Can Do More Harm Than Good

March 15, 2018

Just about everyone likes to feel handy around the house. Accomplishing a do-it-yourself project makes you feel great and helps bring out your personal creative side. Now, there are some home DIY projects that are perfectly fine to do on your own. At the same time, there are other DIY projects you really need to leave to the professionals. Home mold removal is one project you shouldn’t attempt on your own as it can lead to more harm than good. Instead, when you need a mold removal service in Santa Rosa, you need to turn to professionals like the team at Bravo Restoration & Construction.

Examine the Causes of Mold

If you don’t identify the cause of the mold, it really doesn’t matter if you clean it or not. The mold will just come back. This is also exactly why you need to avoid cleaning up the mold yourself. By bringing in a professional mold removal company, the service provider in Santa Rosa can inspect the property, identify the problem and not only remove the mold but correct the problem so it doesn’t come back.

Mold Can Be Dangerous to Your Health

Mold spores are a direct threat to your health. If you breathe in the spores, the mold can attack your lungs and cause all kinds of issues from breathing problems to far more dangerous immune system disorders. While it is important to remove the mold from your Santa Rosa property, you put yourself at risk by directly exposing yourself to it. Therefore, one should turn to a professional mold removal service for safe and correct removal.

Removing All of the Mold

The thing about mold is it only takes a single spore to spread out and grow. If you don’t remove every single mold spore, you leave yourself susceptible to additional mold growing back at some point. This can happen even if you identify and clean up the initial culprit. Have professionals do it right the first time, to avoid the problem creeping back later.

Removing mold in the house can put you at risk of health problems while also spreading the mold spores to other areas of the house. Instead, it is important for you to take advantage of the mold removal service in Santa Rosa offered by Bravo Restoration. If you have any questions regarding the services offered by Bravo Restoration & Construction or are ready to book a service, pick up your phone and give the team a call today.
