Removing mold in the apartment

Removing mold from your apartment - on the floor, walls, furniture joints and bathroom ceiling - can be extremely difficult when it comes to situations in which the living space is infested with pathogenic spores. Normal mechanical action in this case has visible results. But it is not sufficient to eliminate the threat completely. Existing methods and means of biological action do not always give good results. And the reason for this is the difficulty in identifying the nidus of the threat. After all, before removing microorganisms from a room, it is necessary to assess the extent of their spread.

Professional treatment from Guru Restoration service will help prevent possible problems. With the help of experienced professionals, getting rid of the source of the danger will be much easier. The causes of mold fungus on surfaces will also be easily determined by specialists. And the price of services will depend on the area of the lesion, and the method by which the disinfector will remove the identified colony.



Where to Start?

Elimination of the fungus formed on the walls always begins with one thing - a thorough examination of all possible places of infection. In particular, if the pathogens are not yet so noticeable, it is worth paying close attention to rooms with poor ventilation, lack of natural air flow, high levels of humidity. To remove the source of the danger and effectively combat it, it is often enough to install an air dryer, as well as to repair the plumbing, which is perpetually flowing. But all sorts of folk remedies are better left to perform work on cleaning the walls from the plaque that has appeared.

Compounds used to remove fungus are unlikely to help in its quest. Specialists use for this purpose modern and effective equipment - thermal imagers, which allow you to find the source of the danger even under the wallpaper or ceiling tiles. This is especially important when destroying mold and mildew, because in this case it is necessary to destroy all the spores for complete clearance of the space from pathogenic microorganisms.
Where is the source of the danger found?

To remove mold and mildew from the walls completely it is extremely important to know their localization. The easiest way to trace it is by knowing the most favorite places for microbial colonies. These include:

  • Places under the sink in the kitchen;
  • window sills, window frames;
  • "cold" walls bordering the street;
  • Floor and wall areas under the bathtub;
  • joints between floor slabs;
  • gaps in the floor;
  • areas under baseboards.

Specialists always conduct a thorough inspection of the premises before beginning treatment. Otherwise, there is a great risk that the problem will be relevant again after some time. After that, when the audit is conducted and you can begin the practical work, you choose chemicals for the impact, identified the possible ways and technologies of treatment.

The employees of Guru Restoration warn you:


Do not forget that the fight against sources of biological hazards is carried out by the disinfector. In private ads themselves masters most often write the name of their specialty with a mistake. But disinfection or disinfection is the only way to effectively combat the source of the danger. Compounds for professional use help effectively fight mold in just one visit.


Causes of fungus on walls

Disinfection is not just a routine process, but an important step in forming a safe living space. After all, there are many reasons for a person to fight it. Normally, mold culture spores are not too active - they are present in the air in low concentrations almost always. But as soon as conditions are created for the work of the biological mechanism that allows the microorganisms to form a colony, nature takes its course.

Covering, like a carpet, the surface of walls in an apartment, mold fungi fairly quickly gain territory. Only three conditions are necessary for their successful activity:

  • high humidity;
  • heat;
  • stable preservation of the microclimate parameters.

If the room is stuffy and damp, and there is no natural ventilation, you can say with certainty: the scale of the problem will grow "by leaps and bounds. If the house is already showing signs of microorganism infestation, soon they will be everywhere.
