Water stops and other moisture barriers are commonly installed\nbeneath concrete foundations; however, these can wear out and deteriorate over\ntime. They can also become defective or break under extreme conditions. In the\ncase that water and moisture seeps into the foundation of concrete walls or\nfloors, there is a chance that mildew growth can occur. No one wants mold\ngrowth anywhere on their properties, so when it becomes apparent, immediate\naction is required. Stopping mold growth in its tracks can greatly reduce the\nneed for costly repairs, restorations, and reconstruction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eliminating Mold on Concrete<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The process of cleaning mold off concrete is fairly\nstraight-forward an easy; however, it does require some initial grunt work. Be\nprepared to sweat a little when it\u2019s time to scrub mold and mildew out of concrete.\nIt doesn\u2019t require a lot of tools either; simply locate a hard-bristled\nscrubbing brush, household bleach, clean water, and protective cleaning gloves.\nCombine the bleach and cold water (1 part bleach to 4 parts water) and\nliberally apply the solution to the affected area. Once the area is saturated,\nuse the scrubbing brush to powerfully brush and rub out the mold from the concrete.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have finished scrubbing in this solution, allow it to set\nit for a few hours; longer if the mold is extensive. Finish with a thorough\nrinse using fresh clean water. Use room-temperature or cold water so to not\npromote future mold growth. Heat, moisture, and shade is all it takes for mold\nand fungus to form. It is best to use a power washer to rinse the bleach\nsolution away because the pressure of the water works well to thoroughly rinse\naway the remaining particles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to not handle bleach or concoct your own solution,\nyou can choose to purchase a store-brand mold-killing detergent. Although\nstore-bought, they provide the same results and require the same steps. For severe\ncases of mold, it is best to outsource professional decorative concrete\ncontractors for industry-safe mold removal services. It is not safe to appoint\nan in-house janitorial staff to clean a mold problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mold and mildew removal requires professional equipment,\nspecialized training, and comprehensive procedures. This includes inspections,\nclean up and removal, hygienic maintenance, testing, insurance, and more. You\ndon\u2019t want to put your investment at risk, but more importantly, you do not\nwant to put anyone\u2019s health at risk. Proper mold removal is vital to protect\nproperty value, safety, and appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concrete Restoration and Replacement<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, concrete is too damaged by mold and mildew growth.\nWhen this happens, the best course of action is to have your concrete pavements\nreplaced with new concrete. Be sure to choose a qualified and licensed\ncommercial paving company to provide trusted concrete overlays and repair\nservices you can afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
