Mold is one of the most overlooked things when it comes to maintaining a healthy home environment, even though it can be the most detrimental. A mold infestation can get into the air, causing everything from a stuffy nose, to a headache, to difficulty breathing and more.
How Mold Affects Quality Of Life
People with respiratory illnesses or compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to having symptoms from a mold infestation. If left unchecked, mold infestations can also eat away at your support beams, drywall and insulation, which can make your home uninhabitable.
How Does Mold Grow?
The first step to getting rid of mold is understanding where it came from. Mold likes to grow in damp, dark environments. Basements, attics, HVAC systems, in walls and under carpets are very common places for mold spores to grow. Hot, humid weather is the perfect condition for mold infestations.Fortunately, mold can be removed and your air quality can be restored with the help of a specialist.
