Why Every Homeowner Should Be Concerned About Mold
A very common household issue, mold not only causes a number of problems for those living at home, but it can also be a sign of other concerns that must be addressed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, many homeowners aren’t fully aware of the threats mold poses, and they mistake its musty odor as nothing more than a common smell for basements and attics.
Removing mold and preventing its return should be top priorities for any homeowner—no matter how slight the problem may seem. Fortunately, mold remediation services can give homeowners peace of mind when it comes to repairs or simply maintaining a clean household.

Mold Can Be Indicative of a More Serious Problem
Mold requires damp and moist areas to grow. While there could be any number of reasons as to why a basement, attic, kitchen, bathroom or other space in a house would be moist, the problem could be related to a plumbing failure or a leak from outside. By having a mold remediation service properly clear an area of mold, homeowners can focus on what’s causing the area to be damp or moist and have that issue solved, as well.
Mold Spreads Easily Throughout a House
While mold needs a moist area in order to live and spread, spores are regularly released into the air in search of new areas to grow. According to NBC, homeowners are often surprised to find how far the issue has actually spread after a thorough mold testing.
In homes that have central air conditioning and heating, spores can take advantage of the ductwork. They can quickly travel to other rooms in the house; in particular, kitchens and bathrooms often become the next culprit of mold growth—usually underneath sinks.
Mold Is a Health Risk
Perhaps the most immediate issue associated with mold is that it poses a serious health risk for those living at home. As the EPA reports, mold is an allergen and can lead to persistent and constant allergic reactions.
Those with asthma are at an even greater risk as spores can trigger more frequent and severe attacks. There is also a link between long-term mold exposure and respiratory illnesses—especially for children. Mold remediation should be a priority for any home with a family.
