Steps to Prevent a Mold Outbreak from Spreading in Cottage Grove?

We are trusted leaders in mold damage restoration services in Lane County.

Our Springfield and East Lane County teams have been restoring mold damage in Cottage Grove for many years. Once mold becomes visible, it can rapidly spread to other areas of the structure. 

While the following steps can help mitigate the immediate damage, contacting mold remediation professionals as soon as possible is essential to assess the situation and safely remove the mold thoroughly. They have the expertise and equipment to handle mold outbreaks effectively. Here are some things you can do to reduce the spread of the outbreak while waiting for help to arrive:

Reduce Moisture: If the source of moisture is still present (such as a leak), do your best to contain or stop it. This might involve shutting off water to the affected area or placing buckets under leaks to catch water.

Increase Ventilation: Open windows and use fans to increase airflow and help dry out the affected area. This can prevent further moisture buildup and inhibit mold growth.

Use Dehumidifiers: If available, use dehumidifiers to reduce humidity levels in the affected area. Lower humidity levels make the environment less favorable for mold growth.
