Questions & Answers about Disaster Restoration |
Should I be concerned about mold in my home?
Yes, if indoor mold contamination is extensive, it can cause very high and persistent airborne spore exposures. Persons exposed to high spore levels can become sensitized and develop allergies to the mold or other health problems. Mold growth can damage your furnishings while clothes in damp closets can become soiled. Over time unchecked mold growth can even cause damage to the structural elements in your home. If you can smell mold inside your home, take steps to identify and eliminate the excess moisture and to cleanup and remove the mold.
Can cleaning up mold be hazardous to my health? Yes. During the cleaning process, you may be exposed to mold, strong detergents, and disinfectants. Spore counts may be 10 to 100 times higher than background levels when mold contaminated materials are disturbed.
