“You have mold”…… is something every homeowner dreads to hear. Mold is a fungus which produces spores and releases them into the air. The release of spores causes mold to grow in damp areas of your home such as bathrooms and kitchens. The growth of mold can also cause major structural damage to your home, eating away at the interiors of walls as well as damage tile surfaces.
Many people are unaware they have mold until they can visibly see it or begin to smell it. Have you or the rest of your family in your home been constantly sick over and over again? There is a good chance there is mold collecting somewhere throughout your home. The implications from mold being in your home can cause respiratory problems, infections, coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, wheezing and a compromised immune system just to name a few. It is important to be able to detect any mold growing in your home so you can take the proper steps to contact professionals to eliminate it from your home.
