The Dangers of Removing Black Mold By Yourself

Mold is a natural part of our environment, and because of that, we often take it less seriously than we should, especially when it comes to mold remediation in Toronto. That’s why many homeowners try to do it themselves, assuming that mold is a problem that’s as easy to fix as a leaky tap. But this is one DIY we recommend leaving to the professionals, especially when it comes to black mold removal! 

Mold can cause severe physical and mental health issues, as well as damage to the structure of your home. When it comes to toxic black mold, the outcome may even be life-threatening; black mold produces mycotoxins, which can negatively affect the brain as well as the respiratory system. Mold removal should always be taken seriously, which is why it’s best left to the professionals. What follows are three of the most dangerous mistakes in DIY mold remediation. 

Missing Spots

Mould remediation in Toronto is impossible for a homeowner to do successfully because they almost always miss a spot. When it comes to black mould removal, missing a spot can give an infestation the opportunity to allow an infestation and can hitch a ride on your clothes, hair, or skin to other rooms. Dirty tools or contaminated items are moved or reused in other spaces, and newly ‘cleaned’ spaces can become more contaminated, not less.
