The Effect Mold Has On Health
Molds are not a big deal indoors unless they produce allergens or irritants – substances that can cause sneezing, red eyes, or even skin rash in some people. Those who have asthma and are allergic to mold can experience asthma attacks when exposed to it. But that’s not all, mold exposure can also irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people! Whilst other symptoms from breathing in mold are rare, research on the health effects of mold is ongoing.
Where's Mold Most Likely To Grow Back After Remediation?
It is important to identify and mitigate the underlying cause of mold growth to prevent recurrence. The places where mold commonly grows back are areas of high humidity or where water damage has occurred. By understanding the factors that contribute to mold growth and employing preventative measures, you can feel reassured that your home is free from harmful mold.
How Often Should You Check Common Areas For
Mold Growth?
It’s important to regularly clean and maintain these areas, and essential to check for signs of mold growth at least once every six months. This proactive approach will help catch any potential mold problem early on and prevent it from spreading, ensuring a healthy and comfortable home for you and your family. Remember, being vigilant about checking at-risk areas for mold growth is a small but crucial step towards a happy and healthy home.
How Is A Mold Follow Up Different Than a Typical Mold Inspection?
While a typical mold inspection may check for visible signs of mold and collect air and surface samples, a mold follow-up goes a step further. It involves revisiting the same areas to determine if any mold has returned after remediation, and can also include additional testing to ensure the mold spores have been completely eliminated. A mold follow-up provides peace of mind that your property is safe and healthy, making it a valuable investment for those who want to ensure the continued well-being of their space.
What're The Best Ways To Keep Mold From Growing Back?
The first step is to identify and eliminate any sources of moisture in your home, such as leaks or inadequate ventilation. It’s important to regularly clean and maintain your HVAC system and use a dehumidifier if needed. You can also use mold-resistant paints and materials in areas where moisture is present, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Regularly cleaning and disinfecting surfaces can also help prevent mold from growing back. By taking these preventive measures, you can keep your home free of mold and enjoy a healthy living environment.
