Mold Spores Prevention in O’Fallon, Springfield, St. Louis & Edwardsville

Keeping your home dry may be hard work, but the positive effects can last a lifetime. Albeit, it is a given fact that everyone wants to live in a comfortable space; however, there is another reason why getting rid of the excess moisture of any given space is important, and it is most often tied up with the occurrence of mold and mildew.

Molds and mildew are organisms which are usually undetected by the human eye. Though they do appear to be harmless and fuzzy in nature, having them manifest a large portion of your property can be very dangerous. Mildew is a type of fungus which consists of hyphae or fungal filaments produced on living plants or organic matter. Mold, on the other hand, can come in one of the three most common types:

Pathogenic Mold
Allergenic Mold
Toxic Mold (black mold)

These microorganisms are not the fastest beings alive, but they do spread dangerous spores which, if inhaled and constantly exposed to, cause various health issues and symptoms such as:

A Runny Nose
Respiratory Problems (e.g. difficulty breathing, tightening of the chest, and wheezing)
Incessant Coughing and Sneezing
A sore Throat
Asthma
Skin Allergies
Lung Cancer

Sadly, a lot of homeowners turn a blind eye when it comes to the presence of mold and mildew, and by the time they are faced with the troublesome consequences, it is already too late. Do not let this happen. It is better to fashion your homes with the correct systems and perform a proper inspection, to inhibit the manifestation of these microorganisms.
