Identify the Cause

Identify the cause of the mold. Make sure during the cleanup that it is fixed so that the mold will not return. If there was a leak in the roof, make sure its repaired. If a pipe causes a water leak in a wall, make sure its fixed. If the humidity level on your home humidifier is set too high, make sure it is turned lower. You don’t want the mold to return. Contact your insurance company and find out if mold removal is covered in your policy. In many cases it is, depending on the cause of the mold.  After getting your mold test results and speaking with the mold tester, decide if you are going to remove the mold yourself or hire a professional to do it. Have the mold in your home removed. If doing it yourself, here is more information on the mold remediation process. Mold removal is a much more complex process than most people realize. You don’t want to spread the mold to other parts of your home.
