Some mold species can be toxic which can become airborne. Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects. High levels of mold spores can cause respiratory problems and allergic reactions. Some people can experience symptoms such as stuffy nose, wheezing, red or itchy eyes, or skin, and lung problems. Mold toxicity symptoms maybe more serious, such as cognitive impairment, nervous system problems, digestive or immune system problems. However mold inspector are not qualified to make health claims or recommendation, so it's important to see a health professional if you feel you are suffering from mold exposure.
It is important to know what type of mold you are dealing with. It usually takes only 3 days from the time the Lab get your samples until we have a certified Lab report detailing the type and level of mold. Then if a homeowner wishes to clean up a small area themselves, we can make recommendations for natural safe products to clean the mold and keep it from returning. If it is larger, we can recommend an excellent restoration service.
