Problems mold causes in your home
Structural and material damage
Mold can invade the walls, ceiling, floor, pipes, wiring, and other elements of your home, causing corrosion, deformation, cracking, or delamination of materials. This can have an impact on the safety, stability, and energy efficiency of your Miami home.
Diminishes value and aesthetics
Similarly, this fungus is capable of staining, discoloring, or emitting an unpleasant odor on surfaces and objects in your home, such as paint, wallpaper, furniture, carpets, or clothing.
Food Contamination
It is important to consider that mold can grow on the food you store in your Miami home, especially if it is exposed to moisture or not well preserved. Mold can produce toxins harmful to your health when consuming these foods.
Mold Damage to Your Health
Mold causes other health effects that increase the urgency of remediating mold damage to your property. Consider the following!
Allergic reactions
Mold in your Miami property can release spores into the air that, if they come in contact with your skin, eyes, or respiratory tract, can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, irritation, sneezing, coughing, or nasal congestion.
Asthma aggravation
Mold can aggravate asthma symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, or wheezing. When these people are in the affected property, their symptoms become more pronounced. Mold may also increase the risk of frequent or severe attacks.
Infections
Mold can infect skin, nails, or mucous membranes if there are open wounds or a weakened immune system. This can cause inflammation, pain, oozing, or fever.
