Dryout Before You Mold Out
Dryout Before You Mold OutAuthor: Mark Decherd Mold needs two things to thrive inside your home: water and food. While you may be thinking about foods in your refrigerator, we’re actually talking about mold food such as drywall and plaster. That’s right: mold eats the materials on which it resides. Not only is mold unsightly and unhealthy, it slowly eats through building materials. In any case, you don’t want it in your home or building, so make sure to dryout before you mold out. Because mold needs a moist environment before it sets up a colony and begins devouring your home, it makes sense to get the water out! Whether your home has suffered from a major flood event or you have a steady drip, drip, drip in the basement, drying out is your first defense. In fact, the first 48 hours after water has arrived are the most crucial as far as mold is concerned. A prompt response is a must if you want to avoid mold.
For smaller floods such as an overflowing dishwasher in the kitchen, drying out can be a do-it-yourself job, especially if you have a tile floor and can easily mop up the water. Tools of the trade for these small, do-it-yourself dryout jobs include a mop, wet/dry vacuum cleaner, fans, cleaning supplies, and common sense. Any time you have an issue with standing water, you also have an issue with electrocution. Take all safety precautions to ensure that you are safe, even if they seem like overkill. Among the steps to take are: turning off power to the home, stopping the water from continuing to pour in, mopping up, cleaning, decontaminating, drying, and deodorizing.
