Mold remediation is important to protect your family

Household mold is very are hazardous to your health and the health of your family, and it can spread even in the most spotless of homes.

 The most frequent sources of mold include a leak that is out of sight or something more noticeable such as a burst pipe or a leaky roof.

Humidity from any place will be soaked up by building matter such as wood, insulation, and drywall. The first signs of your home having a problem with mold are that you may notice a musty odor and this can lead to you or your family suffering from health problems such as skin rashes, sinus and respiratory problems.

There are three main types of bacterium that poses a health risk when it comes in contact with humans or animals. The first of these is called Stachybotrys and this loves to grow on water damaged building materials such as wallpaper, ceiling tiles and insulation. It often grows unnoticed and is black and slimy, it creates mycotoxins and these have been linked to causing cancer. 

Next is the household mold known as Aspergillus which also creates the spread of mycotoxins and it is one of the fastest growing toxins.

Cladosporium appears as either darkish green or black and may bear a resemblance to chalk. It is usually located on the shell of fiberglass duct liners and this fungus may cause skin problems, sinus problems and respiratory complaints.
