The last thing you want to do when you discover a problem such as back mold is to make it worse. A good principle with mold is to keep it contained in one area as this will make mold removal faster and easier. To do this, it helps to understand a little bit about how mold spreads throughout a building. All types of mold are made up of microscopic scores that float on the tiniest of breezes. They also like warm, damp locations, such as moist attics and basements, bathrooms, and sometimes laundry areas. There are hundreds of different types of mold, and though they might require slightly different cleaning approaches, most types spread in a similar manner.

One of the first actions a qualified mold remediation company like SERVPRO of South Rancho Cucamonga will take is to turn off the furnace. The following measures should be taken to facilitate mold containment:

• Physical barriers
• Negative air pressure chambers
• Air filtration
• HEPA vacuums
