There’s a myriad of symptoms associated with a mold infection in your home or workplace. Unfortunately, those early warning signs are often overlooked and attributed to things like seasonal allergies, asthma or even the flu. Mold spores exist naturally indoors and outside. An infestation is problematic due to health concerns and is exacerbated by enclosed spaces.
Mold is a fungus and there’s approximately a dozen types that are typically found in homes, though there are thousands that have the potential to be present. The fungi normally won’t affect you too much unless you have a compromised immune system, respiratory condition, or there’s a large infestation. Mold requires moisture to grow and thrives in temperatures between 70-90 degrees.
Symptoms can range from headaches; eyes that are red, watery or sensitive to light; sore throat; coughing; and wheezing. Everyone won’t experience all the symptoms, the same combination, or severity. It’s just one of the reasons that mold is difficult to detect. If you’re undergoing cancer treatments, have HIV, or are a transplant patient, you’re at greater risk of developing a fungal infection if mold is present.
The best solution if you suspect mold is to call in the professionals. Mold spores are easily disseminated and you don’t want it to spread. A mold remediation service will locate the source, take samples, and have them lab-verified to determine what type of mold is present to determine the best course for eradication.
The affected area will be contained and the mold safely removed utilizing anti-microbial agents and negative air machines to completely remove the mold menace. Preventative measures will be taken to ensure it’s not spread and to prevent contamination of other areas and surfaces.
Mold growth isn’t limited to damp basements. It can grow behind walls, within air conditioning systems and ductwork, and in the attic. A mold remediation service knows where to look for mold and the best treatment method of any type so you’re breathing fresh, clean air in your home again.
