WORRIED ABOUT MOLD?

While mold is not usually a problem indoors, if spores find a wet or damp area of the house, it may begin taking over. Types of mold vary, but they can produce irritants, allergens, or even potentially toxic substances called mycotoxins. If you have a mold allergy, you may begin experiencing sneezing, runny eyes and nose, rash, and other symptoms of allergic reaction. People with suppressed or compromised immune systems, chronic respiratory conditions, or asthma are particularly vulnerable.

​

Mold can be present in upholstered furniture, paint, drywall, insulation, and ceiling tiles. You can often see or smell the mold, which is a large clue that there is a water problem that's gone unaddressed. It occurs most commonly in fall and winter, but can occur during the spring and summer as well.

​

If you have a mold problem in your house, it is vitally important that you deal with both the mold and the damp at the same time. If the water problem remains, the mold won't be gone for good and you'll spend extra money dealing with it every time it comes back.
