Visible mold in basement, not black mold. No dehunidifier has been used. Clothing, cardboard boxes have been stored on the basement floors and shelving for 7+ years without movement or cleaning. Concrete floors and cement block walls. Looking for a residential mold remediation company to help clean it up!

Basement Mold Removal
The basement harbors perfect conditions for the growth of mold in your home. It's used as a storage area, and therefore there is very little heat. The air can easily become damp when there is a leaky pipe in the basement.. Add to that the fact that the basement is rarely as developed and as well ventilated as the rest of the house and you have all the perfect conditions for a moldy basement. Mold in the basement can cover all surfaces -- walls, ceiling tiles, and cement sheets. Any wooden cabinetry or furniture you have in the basement is susceptible to mold infestation.
Mold removal in your basement is very important because the spores in the basement can easily spread to other parts of your home. The vents and ducts of your HVAC system are able to draw in these spores, and release them into the upstairs environment. These spores freely disperse into the air, and over a period off time, you will find that you suffer from asthma and other allergic reactions and respiratory disorders more frequently than before. Make sure that you have adequate artificial ventilation in your basement like air conditioners and ceiling fans. Don't let water accumulate anywhere in the basement -- if there are wet patches on carpets or furniture, get rid off these. If there are leaky pipes in the basement, get these fixed immediately.
A mold infestation in the basement can easily spread to the other areas of the house through the HVAC systems.
