Mold Assessments

Central Florida homes can be a breeding ground for mold due to the heat and humidity. Indoor mold growth in homes is common but should not be ignored because it can result in adverse health symptoms. Mold will grow and thrive in humid areas of the home such as bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, floorboards, carpets, or in between wall layers near a leaking pipe. All homes, whether new or old, are at risk of acquiring mold due to roof leakage, water flooding, broken pipes, rain seeping in from windows, or lack of proper ventilation. Mold can affect you and your family's health especially those with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other respiratory diseases.

Homes with babies, young kids, elderly, and pets are recommended to get a mold assessment to avoid exposure and illness. If left untreated mold will continue to thrive, grow, and spread. Minor symptoms of inhaling mold are chronic coughing, wheezing, headaches, red eyes, nausea, itchy/sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, inflammation, and difficulty breathing and speaking. Long term exposure to mold and its toxins will result in even more serious symptoms such as memory loss, nerve issues, anxiety, concentration problems, sensitivity to light and cancer.
