Mold faq

  1. Mold inspection and assessment. Careful inspection of the property to identify growth type and source. This helps to determine the best approach for the remediation.

  2. Containment. Molds produce spores when triggered. This spore moves in the air and settles on another surface while they are being removed. Hence, professional mold remediation involves the isolation of contaminated areas before cleaning or removal.

  3. Clean up and air filtration. The mold cleaning approach will depend on the location. Molds on non-porous or semi-porous materials are cleaned safely to prevent spores from releasing into the air.

  4. Disposal or removal. The type of material the mold grows on will determine if the disposal is required. If mold grows on porous material, the course of action chosen is removal.

  5. Sanitization. Removal of mold-infested materials is followed by thoroughly cleaning all items affected, such as curtains, furniture, floors, walls, etc. This also includes deodorization and elimination of odors using fogging equipment.

  6. Preventative recommendation. In this step, professionals suggest to homeowners the steps to take to prevent mold regrowth.

Black Mold is a type of fungus that can appear in damp areas of your house. Its unique appearance characterizes it since it’s darker than most molds. Black mold is not more toxic than other molds. All molds are biohazards that can produce toxins and must be removed immediately when found.

Mold can originate from many different sources. Molds thrive in warm, frequently moist environments with a lot of cellulose, such as cardboard or paper items. They can grow in wet areas of the house, such as basements, showers, kitchens, and even on windows. It can grow as a result of your ventilation not working well or if you have leaking pipes. If you suspect leaky pipes in your house, check your basement, showers, corners, and crawlspaces thoroughly for mold. When left unchecked, black mold can cause severe damage to your home.

ALLERGIC REACTION

A repeated or single exposure to mold can cause hay fever-like symptoms such as headache, sneezing, red eyes, runny nose, and skin rash for people with mold allergies. However, even people not allergic to mold can experience eye, skin, nose, throat, and lung irritation when they breathe black mold. Infants, older adults, and people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD or a compromised immune system are more likely to experience black mold allergies. Black mold is dangerous for asthmatics because it can cause shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, wheezing, and asthma attacks.

RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES

People who live or work in buildings with black molds risk developing hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an immune system disorder that causes lung inflammation. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an allergic reaction that occurs after sustained exposure to a particular irritant or allergen. Black mold can also cause acute neutrophilic rhinitis, an upper respiratory disease that results in persistent nasal infections.

CHRONIC ILLNESS

Long-term exposure to black mold can cause chronic illness. Repeated inhalation of toxic trichothecenes – a type of mycotoxin – can cause some people to develop chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS). CIRS affects different systems of the body. It can cause neurological or digestive issues, extreme fatigue, body pain, nasal congestion, mood swings, vertigo, and more. Black mold does not cause chronic illness immediately, but people develop the chronic disease after exposure to water-damaged buildings. A 2014 study showed that the sinuses could continue to harbor mold even after a person leaves a moldy environment. The mold continues to release mycotoxins over time, contributing to the development of chronic illness.

BLACK MOLD POISONING

In severe cases, exposure to toxic black molds is linked to non-allergic symptoms, including neurotoxicity. Mold toxicity can have the following symptoms;
  • Circulation Issues, swelling
  • Digestive issues
  • Brain fog, cognitive impairment
  • Loss of balance, dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Neurological issues
  • Muscular and joint swelling
study by Finnish researchers indicated that exposure to toxic indoor mold could cause insomnia, migraine, motor and peripheral sensory neuropathy, and failure to thrive in newborn babies. The study also indicates that exposure to toxic mold can increase cancer risk.
