Residential Mold Removal Services—Fast & Effective Remediation

What Is Mold & Why Is It Dangerous?

Mold is essentially a type of fungus. It’s a living thing that is common and helpful in nature, and harmless to humans in small amounts. The problem is when mold takes root in your home due to water damage or excessive moisture or humidity.

Risks Of Ignoring Mold Growth

Molds send tiny spores into the air to reproduce. And as it grows, mold can harm both humans and their homes.

• For humans: Inhaled mold spores can cause a variety of health risks. Respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies are common. Skin irritations, headaches, and fatigue are other symptoms as well. Mold can quietly affect people with compromised immune systems.
• For homes: Mold can damage your home wherever it grows. This includes walls, ceilings, and other surfaces in every room of your house. Be on the lookout for musty odors and stained surfaces. Black mold is particularly dangerous and can spread onto drywall, wood, and paper products.

When you see, smell, or experience mold in its many forms, you need to take action to stop its growth. However, you should know that trying to eliminate mold on your own can be dangerous, as it can release further spores that spread and recontaminate other areas in your home.
