1. Weather can damage the materials of your property and both humid and cold weather can dampen and create moisture on any surface. No property is exempt from this.
2. Moist surfaces are breeding grounds of mold and mildew. Mold and mildew are considered air pollutants and when the spores are inhaled can lead to serious illnesses especially to people with high sensitivity to allergens and pollutants. Imagine not being able to safely breathe inside your property.

In this article, let’s talk about black mold and mildew because these are among the most common problems following the cold weather or summer heat.

1. Black Mold is a type of fungus that is very green or dark with a distinct musty, damp, or mildew smell. Most of the time it is found in soil and grain but is most often detected in cellulose-rich materials from damp or water-damaged buildings. Exposure to high levels of black mold can cause chronic coughing, sneezing, irritation of the eyes, chronic fatigue and persistent headaches which are all symptoms of black mold poisoning. In extreme levels, too much exposure for a prolonged period can shut down your organs. incapacitate your immune system, damage your brain, and in worse cases ultimately result in death.
2. Mildew is a type of surface fungi that can be identified as patches of gray or white fungus on moist surface areas. Mildew can be easily treated and cleaned but there is still no type of mold that is safe when inhaled. Touching or inhaling mildew can lead to serious health problems for both allergic and non-allergic people. Regardless if the spores are dead or alive, mildew can still cause throat irritation, nasal congestion, sneezing, bloody noses, headache, watery eyes, fatigue, and asthma.

The above mentioned are just two of the many pollutants that need to be tested in your property.
