Removing tack strips is not advised, as this may damage the hardwood or the subfloor. Extreme caution must be used whenever the tack strip is exposed or when the carpeted stairs are damp.

Mold is a microscopic fungus that is part of the natural environment and necessary for our ecosystem. While it is necessary in the outdoor world, too much mold inside a structure can be dangerous and unsanitary. Mold produces spores as part of its lifecycle, and these spores float through the air both inside and outside which can cause a danger to you and people who reside in your home or office.

If you see mold growth or water stains, a mold test can help identify related microbial activity. You can also look for areas where water leakage has occurred, such as roofs, pipes, ceilings or walls. Musty smells may also indicate the presence of mold.

Experts recommend using a professional remediation company when mold is detected. Remediation professionals are specifically trained to treat mold-affected areas. Professionals can also avoid cross-contamination and have access to advanced commercial-grade equipment and moisture extracting technology to ensure mold does not return.
