The Dangers of Mold Removal!

Do you need mold removal services in Frederick?

Untreated water damage = mold exposure = health problems.  Restoration 1 Frederick removes the risk.


Your body's reaction to mold exposure can sometimes appear to be allergy, cold or flu symptoms. The symptoms of mold exposure can be a runny nose, watery eyes, cough, stomach discomfort, appear as a rash, weight gain, and respiratory problems. One of the ways you can determine if your symptoms are the result of mold exposure is if the symptoms return after you have seen the doctor and taken the medication(s) they have recommended for you. The symptoms of mold exposure may go away while you are taking the medication(s) and reoccur once the medication(s) is out of your body.


You may be tempted to locate the mold yourself or it may be obvious where the mold is located. Removing the mold or trying to treat it needs to be done with great care. The mole spores will be in the air even if the mold is evident on the floor, wall, etc. There are steps you need to take to ensure you do not suffer further physical ailments due to the presence of the mold.


You have two options for mold removal.


Your first, and best, option is to contact Restoration 1 Frederick, the experts in mold removal. Discuss with the customer service representative what you suspect or have found regarding the mold in your home. They will schedule an appointment for a mold removal technician to come and assess your situation. The technician will work with you to develop the safest and least costly plan for the removal of the mold.


Your second option is to try to do it yourself. You must use extreme caution if this is your choice. Be sure to at least do the following.

1.   Avoid, at all cost, exposing your skin to the mold. Do not be afraid to stop the project if you have

      any doubts or questions about what you are doing. Just contact Restoration 1 Frederick and

      schedule a time for a mold removal technician to finish the job.

 2.  Always wear a face mask/cover, eye protection and strong protective gloves. (You might even

      consider buying a face covering that covers your head and neck in addition to your face.) Be sure

      to wear long pants and long sleeve shirts.

 3.  Use the recommended mixture of bleach of water.

 4.  Dispose of any rags or material that will absorb the mold immediately upon completion.
