BECAUSE MOLD CAN BE A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN YOU'D THINK
Is mold remediation toxic? We hear this question often. But have you ever thought that it is not the mold removal process that is dangerous, but the fungus and mold spores themselves?
The mold remediation process is not inherently dangerous and can save you from health problems in the future.
When you see mold in your home or business, it can seem like a very little thing. Barely worth a second thought. However, mold is a big problem. It can cause a lot of damage, some of which may be rather surprising.
Mold spores are naturally in indoor air, but when it starts growing inside, the amount of mold spores in the air can increase exponentially.
This spells trouble for your health, especially if you have allergies or asthma. Mold has been proven to cause health effects in even non-sensitive individuals, so there is no safe mold problem. You don't want to live with mold. Since mold spreads so quickly, the amount of spores in the air you breathe will only increase over time.
Mold Destroys Property
In nature, mold feeds off of fallen leaves, branches, and other nutrient-rich organic materials. Mold is an important part of the decomposition that enriches the soil and breaks down dead vegetation.
Now think about what mold can do to your building. Mold can damage walls, floors and ceilings by weakening them, eating deep into the materials over time. Mold can also damage wooden support beams, especially when left to grow unchecked, in wet conditions, behind walls and in other hidden spaces.
What to do when you suspect, see, or smell mold
Try to stay away from the area. Where mold is growing the density of mold spores in the air is higher, and could cause congestion or other problems, like headache and dizziness.
