Mold and mildew have been known to create numerous health related problems that can range from a simple itch or an occasional cough to severe respiratory problems and even possibly death. Mold can also damage wood, drywall and other foundation and structural damage. It can even drop the actual value of your home!
What can I do?
Once the interior of your home has had mold exposure, it can circulate readily throughout the rest of your household and endanger you and your family. Of course, you always want to eliminate any mold and mildew before this can happen. Generally, there are two ways to discover mold accumulation before actually seeing the mold and mildew – symptoms and sources.
Symptoms
- irritated eyes
- sinus congestion
- coughing
- rashes
- wheezing
- difficulty breathing
- asthma appears or worsens
- itchy throat
- headaches
- musty smells
If you should experience any of these symptoms, you should look for sources immediately. Always seek professional advice when in doubt.
Sources
- standing water in basement
- weeping foundations or walls
- flooding
- stopped drainage
- condensation from improper insulation
- damp crawl space
- plumbing leaks
- roof leaks
