When you have mold in your home, you might be wondering, "How bad can it really be?" Unfortunately, the answer may surprise you.

Mold growing inside your property can lead to a number of consequences including:

  • Health problems: Mold can cause skin irritation, sinus/nasal congestion, upper respiratory distress, and other issues. Mold can create adverse health impacts for individuals with pre-existing conditions such as asthma, but it can also make healthy people sick!
  • Building problems: Mold can eat away at your home's foundation, as well as destroy other building materials such as lumber and drywall.
  • Quality of life issues: Mold can smell downright foul, making it challenging to enjoy your time in your space.
