Mold Infected Ceiling in Atlanta, GA

Every mold damage scenario is different, and in this instance the chimney at this residential house in Atlanta, GA caused the homeowners to have mold growth in the ceiling of their master bedroom. Our experts provided the services that our customer required to get rid of all mold infected areas and restored their home by completing the following steps: 

• Checked if there was a leak in the roof­—most ceiling mold comes from water moving through a leaking roof. The roof must be repaired before cleaning the mold. Otherwise, the mold will simply return.
• Verified proper ventilation and air circulation—used extractors in the room to allow moist air to escape.
• Improved insulation—insulation provides a barrier between the cold air outside and warm air inside, which reduces the conditions that cause mold growth.
• Checked if there was a large colony of mold on the other side of the ceiling and removed it if required—if the small patch on the underside of the ceiling is removed, but there is still a large colony on the other side then it will simply grow back.
• Used a dehumidifier—mold prefers damp and warm conditions. Dehumidifiers removed the humidity from the air, which reduced the ability of mold to grow and thrive.
