Quick Fact: What is “mold remediation”? Generally, remediation means providing a remedy, so mold remediation deals with the removal of the areas infected with mold. Once removed, some objects can be cleaned if the mold damage is not very intense. Many times, the mold covered items will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Our mold repair spcialist can restore your home back to better than before in all the damaged areas.
Besides being unsightly and destructive, this mold can carry the following health risks.
- Allergies Most people have some allergic reaction to mold. They can happen immediately or sneak up after prolonged exposure. The more exposure to the mold, the worse the allergy can become. Below is a list of the types of allergies caused by mold:
- Sinusitis Similar to a cold or hay fever but lasts longer.
- Dermatitis Itchy, red skin, and rashes.
- Asthma
- Pneumonitis A chronic lung disease that can lead to irreversible lung damage.
- Mold exposure can even bring on bleeding in the lungs, especially in infants.
- Infection Mold can settle in the lungs and other tissue in people with weak immune systems. A lung infection called aspergillosis can suppress the immune system and lower white blood cell counts. This disease can be deadly.
- Toxicity Some molds can be toxigenic, which means they combine with other materials to produce toxic or even cancer-causing afflictions. Some of these toxins can cause flu-like symptoms, fatigue, headaches, mood changes and even liver damage.

Outside keep damp soil and thick plantings away from walls and make sure there is sufficient air movement between plants and your house. Be sure to seal wood walls to prevent moisture buildup.
