The Dangers of Mold and Why Mold Removal is Essential
Mold thrives in damp and humid environments, often growing undetected in crawlspaces, basements, attics, and behind walls. If left untreated, mold can cause structural damage and health issues, including:
- Respiratory problems (asthma, coughing, and shortness of breath)
- Allergic reactions (sneezing, itchy eyes, and sinus congestion)
- Chronic fatigue and headaches
- Weakened immune response, especially in children and older adults
Additionally, mold weakens materials like drywall, wood, and insulation, leading to costly repairs. Prompt removal is crucial to prevent further damage and protect indoor air quality.
