How To Clean Moldy Walls In Your Basement

Whether your house is new or old, you may have the problem of a leaking basement. When your basement leaks and water gets into it from the outside, you are going to develop moldy walls in your basement. You can easily stop water from entering into your basement by waterproofing your basement, but you still have to be able to clean the mold out of your basement for it to be completely healthy.

Mold is toxic to people and needs to be handled with the utmost care and precaution. If you don't care to clean your own moldy walls, you can have a professional clean them, but if you are going to clean moldy walls in your basement, here is the proper way to do it.

The first thing step in cleaning your moldy walls is to protect yourself from harm. You should wear a protective mask and rubber gloves whenever you are going to be coming in contact with mold. When you clean mold, it is possible to stir up the mold spores which is why you need the mask so you do not ingest them.

Depending if you have a finished or unfinished basement, you may find that removing the walls is your best bet for getting rid of the mold. If you have a finished basement that has drywall in the inside of the exterior wall, you may consider removing all the moldy drywall and replacing it with new walls. Only do this once you have waterproofed your basement and you know that you are not going to be getting anymore water in your basement. If you don't have a finished basement or your walls are just the concrete walls, you are going to need to clean the moldy walls.
