3 Reasons You Should Never Attempt Black Mold Removal Yourself 

1. Mold Removal Requires Specialized Equipment 

When removing mold from a home, you’ll need to utilize cutting-edge technology designed to deal with mold in a safe, efficient manner. Such equipment is expensive and often hard to find unless you’re an industry professional. But mold removal professionals will be equipped with all of the necessary tools needed for the job, including the right safety gear, HEPA air filtration devices, and containment systems. Without such gear, you can put yourself and family at serious risk, so hiring a professional is key.  

2. Making a Bad Situation Worse

This is because mold will expel spores into the air when disturbed, damaging your home’s indoor air quality and giving life to new colonies where moisture is present. Disturbing the mold in such a way can spread the problem into other rooms that were not affected but now are due to spore migration.  Enlisting the help of an expert will ensure that all of the mold spores are properly contained and that there’s no chance it will impact other areas of the home. 

3. You May Overlook Moldy Areas

This will bring you back to square one, which is why hiring a professional is often the best decision.
