Mold Mover Website Launches

(Newswire.net — February 15, 2016) Seattle, WA — A new website built to help out property owners who have a mold problem is online starting today.

The MoldMover.com website offers some general tips about dealing with a mold issue and attempts to put property owners in touch with one of the professional mold remediation companies that can safely and effectively remove their mold problem.

The site’s publisher, Ian Phi, said her new site concentrates on informing readers about how serious a mold situation can be and how it isn’t usually an issue that the average homeowner should undertake themselves.

“This website is primarily for property owners who find mold inside their house and are wondering what their next step will be,” stated Phi, “We want to inform them about how serious a major mold infestation can be and how important it is to have a professional mold removal service do the work of removing it and cleaning it up.”

“Most of our readers are homeowners who have recently found out that they have mold in their basement or some other location of their house, and now they are trying to figure out what to do,” continued Phi, “We want to make sure they understand how serious these problems can be and how they shouldn’t attempt to clean it up themselves.”

“Cleaning up a big case of mold is similar in some respects to asbestos removal,” he said, “It’s something the average homeowner most likely isn’t equipped to undertake. You don’t want mold spores to get released into the air and you don’t want to breath them in, and a professional has the equipment and knowledge to do it the right way.”

Fixing the Problems That Cause Mold

Mold shouldn’t be present and growing inside any residence, so when it is, it indicates that there is some other problem that needs to be solved. Phi stated that most mold problems stem from a plumbing problem or, in some other cases, a home foundation, roof or circulation problem.

“Mold grows due to a combination of water and time,” Phi said, “So a majority of problems occur in rooms where there is some form of plumbing or other exposure to moisture. Most problems are seen in bathrooms or kitchens, in rooms below or next to a bathroom or kitchen, in basements, attics or a room with an outside wall. Now having said that, I realize that I just listed the majority of rooms in the average house, so I guess it can happen almost anywhere.”

“Not all instances of mold are serious enough to call in a professional mold removal company,” concluded Phi, “But the average homeowner might not be able to make that distinction, so we recommend homeowners call in a mold contractor and get their opinion. If they tell you your problem isn’t serious, you may be able to do the clean up yourself and save some money.”

Phi added that because her website is still a work in progress, some cities on the site don’t have any company recommendations yet, but they will soon. For details, you can visit http://www.moldmover.com.
