Don’t repair walls or floors until mold has been treated!
Wear the proper PPE and utilize the correct process
If you want to remediate the mold yourself, use SBP’s resources that include a step-by-step guide and a list of supplies and PPE. They can be found at sbpusa.org/start-here
Muck and Gut Safely
Turn off all utilities – water, gas and electricity
Wear PPE – goggles, gloves and dust masks
Open windows to increase ventilation
Take your time – accidents can happen when you move too quickly
Temporary Shelter
If you have insurance, you may be eligible for funding to pay for a hotel or
short-term rental. Ask your agent for more information. (Limit your exposure to mold.)
