What is recommended for dealing with wood surfaces that have mold growth caused by clean water?

Dry vacuuming only
Wet vacuumed/HEPA vacuumed/damp wiped/discarded
Sanding and sealing
Painting over the mold

The correct answer is: Wet vacuumed/HEPA vacuumed/damp wiped/discarded

The recommended approach for dealing with wood surfaces that have mold growth caused by clean water involves a thorough cleaning and remediation process. This typically includes wet vacuuming or HEPA vacuuming to effectively remove mold spores from the surface and the surrounding area. Damp wiping further aids in cleaning by physically removing any remaining mold particles and associated debris. Discarding affected materials may be necessary when the mold growth has penetrated deeply into the wood, making remediation challenging. This method ensures that potential health risks associated with mold exposure are minimized and prevents further spread of the mold spores. This combination of techniques is effective because it not only addresses the visible mold but also minimizes the potential for mold to re-establish itself by ensuring that all mold spores and their potential food sources are adequately removed. It represents a comprehensive and proactive strategy to manage mold growth, ensuring the safety and health of building occupants.
