Prevention
Prevention is better than cure, it is said. In other words, it is essential to anticipate the appearance of these microorganisms. To do this, start disinfecting and cleaning your attic on a regular basis by calling on sanitation companies. Generally, mold grows conveniently in summer, because during this season, moisture is important in the soil. So use a dehumidifier to regulate the water level and keep it below 60%. You can also use an air conditioner to achieve this. As the water level drops, you will feel it at your peak. Even if summer remains the most favorable period for mold growth, do not neglect your attic during the other seasons.
Drying
When your building is degraded or attacked by water, it is fundamental to dewater. So be sure to dry all parts of the home and more particularly, your attic. Thus, bring out all the infiltrated water and ventilate all the rooms well. In case of small damage, good ventilation using a dehumidifier will do the trick. The complete ventilation must be done in at least two (02) days depending on the extent of the damage.
However, when the amount of water infiltrated is large, it is better to call in experts. For this, Isolabec multi concept remains the best solution. We proceed to the drying of your parts in an impeccable and professional way. In addition, also remember to repair all cracks (especially at the foundation), because they remain moisture transfer bridges inside the building.
Be vigilant and professional
Mold can appear at any time, even if you regularly take precautions. A mold decontamination therefore requires good vigilance in order to remove the first microorganisms that appear. Thus, attack the problem from the source by having a permanent eye on the most susceptible areas.
To eradicate evil, two solutions are available to you: do the work yourself or call on an agency of experts. In any case, microorganisms should be removed quickly, then the source should be identified and also eliminated automatically. When they are more or less important, immediately remember to protect yourself against novice spores by:
- Donning dust protection (helmet);
- Putting on goggles;
- Using gloves (preferably rubber).
After that, start cleaning your infected attic with a brush. Be sure to use warm water and soap. Bleach is added to this mixture. When the affected areas exceed 1 m2, do not hesitate to ask an agency specialized in mold decontamination. Truth be told, in this case, you alone cannot properly reach the end of the evil.
