When you own a house, it is important to maintain it and fix any problems. Many issues are caused by leaky plumbing and pipes, leading to water damage around the home. Particularly in high water areas like the toilet, laundry, kitchen and bathroom. The damage caused by water can be extensive and lead to all sorts of serious health issues if not evaluated and repaired promptly.
Mold Growth and Your Health
Black mold is one of the leading causes of chronic and ongoing health problems in the country. One of the issues is that mold can grow uninterrupted and undetected when conditions are right; and leaking pipes can lead to favorable conditions for this growth in wall cavities, under sinks and in other hard to get to areas.
Black mold can cause the following health issues if mold remediation and restoration is not performed quickly:
- Asthma and respiratory problems can be exacerbated by the presence of mold in the home
- Chronic headaches and migraines can be caused by the spores released from black mold
- Nausea and dizziness is also caused by mold in the home
Additionally, if left untreated black mold can cause permanent structural damage, leading to excessive repair costs. Professional and reputable companies are experienced in the assessment and treatment of mold problems and offer speedy service that will put your mind at ease.
Evaluating and Treating the Mold Problem
Mold remediation and restoration is essential when the presence of black mold is suspected in the home, and professional and reliable remediation companies can assess the condition of the home and the amount of black mold then treat it with special equipment.
