How Bad Is It? |
|

The first thing
to consider when cleaning up mold is the size of the mold contamination.
There is going to be a different approach to cleaning mildew off your
bathroom shower than removing mold growing inside walls. |

Several years
ago the New York City Health Department came out with guidelines for
quantifying levels of mold and what level of training was required to
clean up mold. According to these guidelines, if there is less than ten
square feet of visible mold regular maintenance staff can do the clean
up. If there is greater than ten square feet of mold then a professional
is required. The EPA has since adopted this guideline as well. |

The health
department had good intentions. It’s not practical to spend thousands of
dollars hiring a professional to clean up small amounts of mold. A
little mildew on a window sill from condensation may just be wiped off.
Unfortunately, these guidelines do not address the potential for large
amounts of hidden mold. When you see a few square inches of mold on a
wall there may be several square feet or more hidden inside the wall. |
