Frequently Asked Questions About Mold

How do I remove mold? – We highly recommend that you don’t even attempt to remove the mold yourself. If not handled properly, you could expose yourself to extreme health risks and cross-contamination can occur if the mold remediation process isn’t performed correctly, and other areas of your home may be infested with spores, making the problem much worse than before.

Can mold hurt my children or pets? – While effects of mold exposure can greatly vary from one person (or pet) to another, there are many health concerns associated with this silent invader. The range of side effects can be mild including, allergic reactions, irritation (skin, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, etc.), respiratory issues, flu-like symptoms, and even more serious problems such as infections, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or even an increased cancer risk with certain types of mold.
