How to Prepare for a Mold Remediation Visit in Downe Township
Preparation makes the visit quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the problem and the rooms involved, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in Downe Township.
- Do not disturb visible growth and do not try to clean a large area yourself. Published EPA guidance puts the dividing line at about 10 square feet — above that, leave it to a professional. Keep children and pets out of the affected room.
- Note when you first saw the growth or the smell, what you have seen, and where the moisture may come from if you know — a leak, condensation, a past flood, a damp basement. A short note of dates and what you saw helps the visit start in the right place.
- Clear a path to the affected area and move belongings away from it only where it is safe and dry to do so. Do not move items through a damp area if you can avoid it.
- Do not paint over growth or seal it in — covering it hides the moisture behind it and the growth comes back.
- If the problem is in a rental, tell the landlord or property manager as well — the visit is easier to plan when the person responsible for the property knows what is happening.
- Keep pets and children clear of the affected area while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the area involved.
- If there is an active leak, shut off the water only if it is safe to do so from a dry place. Never wade into standing water to reach a shut-off or a switch, and do not touch electrics in or near standing water.
If water is leaking and you cannot reach a shut-off safely from a dry place, stay out of the water and call for help — never wade into standing water to reach a shut-off or a switch. Do not disturb visible growth, and do not try to clean a large area yourself.
