Mold is often behind our walls and we cannot see it spreading throughout the home's structure.

You have found mold in your home and have sought professional remedial services, what should you do until help arrives?

When you discover that you have mold in your home and have sought the help of professionals for remediation services, these are helpful tips until they arrive:

• Avoid the area the mold is found in.  If you are not able to avoid the area, where a face mask to protect exposing yourself to potentially harmful molds.
• Remove as much moisture from the air and infected area as possible, without stirring the airborne mold spores.
• If you approach the area to clean it, use recommended bleach solution to clean the areas you can.
• Clean your vents and pans involving your HVAC system.

As spring approaches, mold will start to surface even in the snow covered grass.  Stay alert to any signs of mold to help keep your family safe and healthy.
