3 Reasons to Hire a Professional for Basement Mold Removal

Mold is a dangerous substance that not only causes serious structural damage to homes but also presents a variety of health risks to members of your household. Mold exposure can be especially problematic for individuals with asthma and other respiratory conditions, and it can result in symptoms like coughing, wheezing, sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itching, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and headaches.

If you suspect that you have mold growing in your basement, scheduling professional basement mold removal services is in your best interests. Here are just a couple key reasons why you should leave basement mold removal tasks to an experienced specialist:

Personal Protective Equipment – Working to remove mold can damage your health if you do not have the proper personal protective equipment to keep you from breathing it in or exposing yourself to it in other ways. Basement mold removal professionals have the right gear and training to stay safe during removal.

Proper Containment – Disturbing mold during basement mold removal can release the spores into the air, causing the mold to spread even further. Professionals know how to keep mold contained to the affected area (using plastic sheeting) and remove the mold from there, so you don’t have to worry about making the problem even worse.

Thorough Remediation – Because professionals have the proper training and experience to provide basement mold removal, they offer reliable results. They can eliminate mold thoroughly, while an untrained individual may not know what to look for or the proper steps for thorough removal.

What Our Clients say

“Guys did a tremendous job. Moisture was significant. Got it dried out, cleaned, and new insulation installed with vapor barrier. No one enjoys spending money on an area that you don’t live in but I thought it was fairly priced for the work that was done. Highly recommend. Pics are the before and after.”

“Thomas was great to work with and does super quality work using the best materials. I looked into a lot of other crawlspace vapor barrier and encapsulation companies and Dogwood Crawlspaces was the best that I found and at a reasonable price too. Thanks Thomas for giving my wife and I great peace of mind with a really nice sealed crawlspace and Aprilaire whole house dehumidifier. You’re awesome!”
