Edison, NJ Mold Testing and Remediation

Mold is a type of fungus that is found both indoors and outdoors which thrives in damp, warm, and humid environments. Crawl spaces, bathrooms, and basements are some of the most common areas for mold growth, but any moist area in the household can potentially harbor mold. Therefore, the way to keep mold under control is to keep moisture under control.

Mold becomes a problem when it is visible on surfaces such as wood or drywall. It is usually recognizable by its blue, black, or greenish color. Unfortunately, mold often hides behind walls or inside duct work, so that you may have a high mold count in your home even if you cannot see it. If your family or coworkers are suffering from unexplained allergies or sickness, It could be from indoor mold.

How Mold Causes Health Problems

When indoor moisture leads to mold growth, homeowners and building occupants may smell different odors in addition to experiencing a variety of health problems.

Household molds usually fall into two categories: allergenic mold and toxic mold. Although all molds have the potential to cause health effects, allergenic molds are more difficult for people with allergies and respiratory problems.

As a result, they may suffer from sore throat, eye irritation, wheezing and shortness of breath. People with respiratory conditions such as asthma, or emphysema may experience more severe symptoms.

Toxic mold, however, can result in serious health issues for anybody. Some common symptoms of black mold exposure include sneezing and coughing, irritation to the nose and throat, recurring headaches, fatigue, and rashes. In the case of prolonged exposure, more severe symptoms may appear such as nausea, vomiting, and bleeding in the nose and lungs. Nevertheless, exposure to either type of mold is unhealthy and long-term exposure is more serious.
