Allied Restoration Explains the Health Risks
Associated With Mold
Mold is a common nuisance in many homes throughout
Seattle. This is often the result of homeowners not recognizing the
actual dangers associated with mold.
All too often, people mistake the smell of mold as
a typical “basement smell” and wrongfully believe the problem
will remain in the basement or attic. Mold not only spreads easily
throughout a house, but it also carries with it a host of health
risks to anyone living at home.
If you suspect mold may be
present in your house, call Allied
Restoration Company immediately. Providing effective Denny
Triangle mold-remediation and testing services to homes in the
Denny Triangle and throughout Seattle, we can determine how strong
the presence of mold is in your house and can eliminate it quickly.

Allergic Reactions and Skin, Eye and Throat
Irritations
According to the EPA,
even if mold isn’t able to find a new place in the house to land
and grow, the original site may still release spores constantly into
the air. This is mold’s reproductive process.
These spores, which easily travel through the air,
may be inhaled and ingested—potentially causing persistent allergic
reactions. Spores can also lead to painful and itchy skin, as well as
eye irritations.
Mold Spores Can Trigger Deadly Asthma Attacks
For those suffering from asthma, mold can be
especially hazardous. As the CDC
reports, asthma sufferers and those with similar breathing conditions
will experience more frequent—and more severe—attacks and
reactions when exposed to constant mold in the air.
Infants, Children and Senior Citizens
Mold poses another threat to growing infants and
the elderly. For children, whose lungs are still developing, the
presence of mold in the atmosphere can quite possibly lead to a
series of respiratory illnesses later in life. Infants and the
elderly, who generally have weaker respiratory systems, are also at
risk and might possibly require hospitalization in extreme
circumstances.
Mold Testing and Remediation in the Denny
Triangle
If you’ve experienced unusually frequent
allergies or asthma attacks in the home but not elsewhere, it’s
likely mold could be the culprit. While it can sometimes be easy to
spot, professional mold testing is often required to measure how far
the spores have spread throughout the house. Allied Restoration
Company provides complete mold-remediation services for homes in the
Denny Triangle and all over Seattle. Call us today at 425-458-5756.
