Everybody is exposed to a small amount of mold spores everyday, and in limited quantities this amount can be generally safe. However, in homes with excessive mold and spores, constant exposure to it can lead to health problems over time. Those with weakened immune systems, such as small children or the elderly, or those with breathing-related health problems, such as asthma, could be particularly at risk.

Due to the nature of mold growth, it’s doesn’t directly cause worrisome structural damage to the home. However, it does have the potential to leave ugly stains on the surface of building materials and cause unpleasant odors within the home. We recommend having your home tested by certified mold inspectors to keep your property in top shape, and to keep your loved ones safe from irritating spores.

House mold is a type of fungus that consists of tiny organisms. These miniscule organisms have a habit of growing in damp and humid areas. Mold reproduces and spreads by putting tiny spores out into the air. These spores can attach to other damp areas on surfaces or within walls. They start growing and put even more spores out into the air. Mold infested air can cause adverse health effects, such as nasal congestion, throat irritation, dryness or irritation on the skin and eyes. Breathing problems like coughing and wheezing are also very common.
