How to remove mold from walls? This question occupies many people who are faced with this trouble. But it is not enough to eliminate the problem itself, it is important to find the reason that contributed to the appearance of a fungus in the house. 
Fungus on the walls may appear due to poor waterproofing or improper air circulation.
Finding the reason
Before you start troubleshooting, you shouldfind the source of its appearance. Factors that could lead to the appearance of mold, a large number. It can be dampness, poor air circulation, poorly executed waterproofing of walls and a number of other reasons. The main, but not the only condition for occurrence is humidity, in this case excessive. The decisive contribution is made by the violation of air exchange in the room and the room as a whole. Therefore, before starting a fight, it is necessary to normalize the air exchange and eliminate the cause of high humidity. It is required either to clean existing ventilation channels, or to carry out a new one, if this makes sense. 
The causes of the appearance of mold. The appearance of fungi can be due to freezing of the wall and other enclosing structures. Measures to eliminate this problem are also carried out in advance. They include the insulation of the floors, walls, roofs of the building. In addition to the above reasons, there is a leakage of the roof, mistakes made during the construction phase. It is worth paying attention to sewage and water supply systems. If they are not sealed, the result will not take long. Back to contents</a>
Elimination of mold: front of work
After the cause of the problem waseliminated, you can proceed to the next stage - elimination. Remove mold from the walls is not difficult, even ordinary detergents can help. It is important to note that depending on the period of the parasite's stay, it may be necessary to remove not only the mold, but also certain structures. The fact is that the fungus can penetrate deep into the surface, causing its destruction. To save such an object does not work, so the only solution that will prevent the spread of the fungus further, the dismantling of such a design. This is primarily about finishing materials and decor elements. To exclude the spread of mold, it is necessary to remove the wallpaper, but before that the walls need to be moistened, which requires ordinary warm water. At this stage it is necessary to assess the degree of damage to the wall surface. If it happens in a wooden building, the mold on the walls could penetrate deeply, causing the destruction of the wall. For this reason, it should be checked for strength and other mechanical properties. Even if the substrate has not been damaged, it must be treated with sandpaper. 
Mold growth pattern.After the preparatory work, they begin to eliminate the fungus. Many people use Domestos, which is popular among housewives, for such purposes, but in the case of mold, it is recommended to remove it using special preparations, for example, Senezh Efro, Fongifluid and a number of others. The treated surface will dry within a few hours at standard humidity. It should be noted that the treated wall contains decay products of microorganisms, therefore, it is required to brush the walls with a dry brush, without missing a single section. After that, the surface needs to be rinsed with warm water, after which it is dried. If the mold has shown itself strongly enough earlier, these actions can be repeated after a while. One day after completion, should be treated with a deep penetration primer. This is necessary to strengthen the walls, maintain air permeability and ensure good adhesion to subsequent layers of finishes. The next stage includes plastering the surface, gluing wallpaper. It should be noted that the glue is selected to be moisture resistant, which has an anti-fungal effect. Many experts advise using good paint. This action has reliable protection - the surface painted with paint will remain dry, and this is an important condition to avoid the return of mold. 
The scheme for solving problems with mold. If the cause of mold formation was covered in poor-quality waterproofing, then the apartment needs to be processed from the outside. However, this is problematic if the action takes place in an apartment located on the 10th floor. But in this case there is a way out. It is necessary to carry out the treatment of the surfaces of walls that have an outlet on the street, with a special composition, for example, "Polyfluid". It is important to pay attention to the fact that the entire work makes sense if all stages have been qualitatively carried out, beginning with the elimination of the cause and ending with the removal of the parasite by itself. Only in this case the question of how to remove mold will not arise in the future. Back to contents</a>
