The Hazards of Mold

There are many health concerns related to the exposure to mold. These include respiratory problems, an increase or development of asthma, and allergy symptoms such as rashes, runny nose, scratchy throat, itchy or red eyes, coughing, wheezing, and fatigue. In extreme cases, mold exposure can be toxic and lead to severe infections.

Sometimes, it is easy to identify the source of mold – either visually or by a musty odor. However, it often can hide behind cabinets, paneling, and walls, in duct work, carpets, or anywhere that moisture gathers – a critical environmental factor that promotes mold and mildew growth. It’s crucial to not only remove visible mold but also address the source of moisture that caused its development.
