Foundation Longevity
Mold looks harmless but it truly is a slow destroyer. Mold starts in areas that you may not visit often, typically dark areas, high or hard to reach areas—but then it will spread through the foundation of your home. Mold may enter through doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems damaging insulation, carpet, paint, ceiling tiles and more. If mold gets into a porous surface it will eat away at it causing structural problems that may affect the longevity of your home. So take action towards removing mold before your wonderful home loses value.
Health Risk
There are major health risks to having mold in your home. Black mold poising can result in a few identifying symptoms such as allergic reactions, headaches, sneezing, runny nose and worst of all severe coughing that can cause passageways to bleeds. In addition to this, there are toxin molds that can also be very harmful if you inhale enough of it. Mold removal should be assed sooner than later before sickness spreads throughout the home.
Hire a Professional
Mold inspection is very important and should be performed by a trained professional. There is only so much we can do ourselves without the proper knowledge. You may be able to find mold in your home, however, what do you do next? And will you be able to comprehend evidence of past mold growth and know how to react? Ideally you’d want to talk to a specialist, like www.mri-mold.ca, or mold inspection places of their caliber will be able to guide you through the process or they can stop by for a visit to take a look.
A Nice Gift
Mold can casually grow in a home, and some mold may not cause structural issues. We refer to this mold as lumber yard mold, they grow on two-by-fours as well as framing within the building, sap of wood, and they stop growing once the wood dries. Lumber yard mold typically will cause black staining on the wood. This is the problem I’d like to address—black stain on wood isn’t that appealing. There’s nothing more house warming than a presentable home, waxed floors, and repainting stained wood. Removing mold can be a very nice gift for someone.
You can control mold with the right precautions and by seeking out a specialist to promptly check areas of your home. Mold is a moisture problem so controlling humidly levels is important, and monitoring ventilation and fixing any water leakage, in kitchens, bathrooms, or roofs are essential.
