Mold is a microscopic organism that grows on plant or animal matter. It serves the important environmental function of breaking down dead material and recycling nutrients. To reproduce, mold produces spores that can spread through insects, air, or water. Under the right conditions, the spores feed on moist textiles and materials.

Virtually any home is prone to mold. All it needs to grow is sufficient moisture and organic material. Mold often grows when humidity, condensation, or a water leak meets drywall, carpet padding, or tile. Sometimes mold can hide in covered areas that you may not notice, like behind appliance. Once mold is found, we will conduct a free inspection of the infected area and provide a comprehensive estimate.

The symptoms of mold exposure are like seasonal allergy symptoms: headache, skin irritation, throat irritation, cough, respiratory problems, nasal and sinus congestion, and eye irritation. Therefore, if you are experiencing these symptoms regularly, over a prolonged state of a few months, we highly recommend scheduling a mold inspection. Individuals with a respiratory illness or compromised immune system are at a high risk for health problems from mold exposure and need to relocate to a safe environment right away. Once mold is found, we will conduct a free inspection of the infected area and provide a comprehensive estimate.

As many as 10 million people in the United States might be affected by TBMS. Symptoms include muscle pain, headaches, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, memory loss, and cramps.
