Why mold matters?
Mold poses significant health risks and can cause a range of adverse effects on individuals and property. Mold spores released into the air can trigger allergic reactions, exacerbate asthma symptoms, and lead to respiratory problems. Prolonged exposure to mold has been linked to serious health issues such as respiratory infections, chronic sinusitis, and even neurological disorders in some cases. Additionally, mold can compromise the structural integrity of buildings by decaying organic materials like wood and drywall, leading to costly repairs and diminished property value. Mold testing can help to identify and mitigate mold growth promptly, safeguarding both the health of occupants and the integrity of the property.
