Mold is never a word you want to hear regarding the inside of your home. Unfortunately mold and mold spores can't be prevented from entering a home. It can grow on any surface as long as there is ample moisture. In this situation, professional help is definitely advised.
Serious Health Hazard
Mold poses health risks to everyone exposed, young or old, healthy or ill. Depending on the type of mold, reactions can vary. According to the CDC, some common health problems reported are:• allergic reactions - sneezing, coughing, rash
• fever
• fatigue
• flu-like symptoms
More serious health hazards that can occur are lung infections and fungal infections. Sometimes the illnesses can be tricky to diagnose if mold isn't immediately suspected or known to exist in the home. Yours or your loved ones health aren't worth risking. When mold is found, it's safest to have it removed correctly, right away.
Small Spores Can Be Hard To Locate
Mold spores, the form in which mold spreads and multiplies, are microscopic. It's not until mold has established growth that you will be able to see it. As trained professionals, we are able to locate the problem areas - whether from flood damage, a leak, etc. - and properly clean and repair the damage. This includes mold removal. The task can be daunting, especially without proper equipment and cleaners. Not to mention it's not something you will want to have to do again, especially if the problem area is behind a wall or in another hard to reach spot.Home Value
If you have ever shopped for a used car, you probably checked to make sure it wasn't previously wrecked. There's a feeling that once something major has happened, the damages may never be fully repaired or cause recurring issues. The same often goes for homes. If your home has been affected by mold, or has been flooded and not checked for mold, a potential buyer could see that as a red flag, thus delaying the sale. Having your home and any issues arising with it properly and professionally handled gives assurance that all is well. A buyer wouldn't have to worry about future problems and your home value elevated.Home is most likely where you spend most of your time.
