Mold Remediation for Health Care Facilities

Mold is a type of fungus that can grow indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your facility through windows, doors, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold can also be carried in on clothing, shoes, bags, and pets.

Mold can cause a number of health problems, including respiratory illnesses, allergies, and skin infections. People with asthma or other respiratory conditions are at an increased risk for more serious health problems from mold exposure.

Mold remediation is the process of removing mold from an indoor environment. Health care facilities are particularly vulnerable to mold growth due to the presence of moisture, which is necessary for mold growth.

There are a number of steps that should be taken to remediate mold in a health care facility:

1. Identify the source of the moisture problem and fix it.

2. Remove all moldy materials, including carpeting, drywall, and insulation.

3. Clean all remaining surfaces with a mold-killing solution.

4. Repair any damaged surfaces.

5. Install mold-resistant materials, such as mold-resistant drywall and mold-resistant insulation.

6. Monitor the area for future mold growth.

If you suspect that you have a mold problem in your health care facility, it is important to have it remediated as soon as possible to prevent the spread of mold and the potential for health problems.
