The Mold Situation

Thousands of businesses and households in Hoboken, NJ, are struggling with moisture issues and mold exposure each year. This results in expensive mold damage repair and hospital bills, which nobody needs.

Luckily, professional mold removal is here to help get this situation under control.

The Dangers of Mold

Mold is categorized as fungi, and in the natural environment, it helps digest organic material like dead leaves, bringing back nutrients to the soil. However, human exposure to indoor mold can be dangerous. Mildew and black mold pose a great risk to humans, pets, and buildings. Some of the common dangers of mold include:

• Structural damage to your property
• Mold poisoning in pets
• Weakening of the immune system
• Risk of complications to those with allergies
• Breathing problems like asthma, sinusitis, pneumonitis, and bronchitis

The Symptoms of Mold Exposure

Most often, people struggle with mold-related symptoms without knowing the underlying cause because mold spores are invisible. In such cases, reaching out to a mold inspector to inspect or test your property for mold could be a good idea.

According to CDC, living or spending extended periods of time in buildings with mold can lead to various mold symptoms after just a few days. Things can even get worse when the mold levels are extensive. These symptoms include:

• Skin rash and irritation
• Sore throat
• Irritation of the eyes and lungs
• Wheezing, coughing, and sneezing
• Congestion and runny nose
• Headache

That's why mold is most commonly found inside walls, insulation, upholstery, carpets, wallpaper, and fabrics.
