Wallpaper Often Hides Mold and Mildew
Moisture easily gets trapped behind wallpaper. As a result, mold and mildew can easily grow without detection. This exposes your family to deadly spores that cause illness. Among the maladies caused by mold and mildew are worsening of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma attacks. Symptoms of mold toxicity include:
- Fatigue,
- Brain fog,
- Headaches, and
- Dizziness.
By addressing mold and mildew during wallpaper removal, our pros will also remove any damaged materials, such as contaminated drywall, to prevent their return. Your family’s ability to breathe more easily is among the advantages of letting us remove wallpaper and eliminate mold and mildew.
Wallpaper Removal, Prep, and Pitfalls
Proper wallpaper removal techniques depend on the existing wall covering. Strippable wallpaper is easier to peel off than other types, but it also requires removing a thin layer of backing. Stripping solutions are used to remove vinyl or vinyl-coated wall coverings.
After removing wallpaper and adhesive residue using appropriate measures, the process proceeds to sanding, patching, and priming, as needed. At that point, the wall is primed for proper adhesion of new wallpaper or for painting.
It is often a mystery what can be found during wallpaper removal. For instance, wallpaper may have been layered directly on drywall without the proper sealer or primer. As a result, homeowners have damaged the walls, leaving scratches, gouges, or even chunks of drywall. Sometimes there are multiple layers of wallpaper, which also complicates removal. Experts have experience in assessing each situation and ultimately avoiding costly mistakes.
Additional Benefits of Wallpaper Removal
If your existing wallpaper is in poor condition or outdated, professional wallpaper removal and subsequent renewal can increase property value. There are innumerable options for modernizing a space, especially with highly qualified pros. You can choose a new wallpaper style, the latest paint color trends, or a faux finish.
