Mold REmediation

Exposure to mold can affect individuals differently, but it primarily causes health problems through the production of allergens, irritants, and sometimes mycotoxins.  

• Respiratory Issues: Mold can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, even in non-allergic individuals. 
•  Fungal Infections (Rare): Invasive fungal infections are rare and generally limited to individuals with severely compromised immune systems. 
•  Mycotoxins: Certain molds, like Stachybotrys chartarum (often called "black mold"), produce toxic substances called mycotoxins. 

Molds are fungi that break down dead organic matter, and indoors, this can mean consuming building materials. 

• Property Damage: Mold gradually damages materials and furnishings. It can grow on almost any organic surface that is moist, including wood, drywall, carpet, insulation, and wallpaper. 
• Structural Integrity: If left unchecked, mold feeding on moist wooden structural members in wood-framed buildings can eventually weaken floors and walls, potentially leading to structural damage. 
• Liability: In commercial settings, mold issues can lead to employee absenteeism, tenant complaints, and potential legal liabilities.
