• Eye irritation: Mold releases spores that can get into the eyes and cause irritation and redness.
• Skin irritation: Mold spores can also cause skin redness and itchiness. The skin inside your nose may also react to mold and mold spores by producing more mucus, causing a runny nose, or sneezing.
• Shortness of breath: People who suffer from allergies can have difficulty breathing when they come into contact with mold spores. Prolonged mold exposure can easily aggravate asthma or trigger an attack, especially in children, older adults, and people with allergies.
• Sore throat: Mold exposure can also cause a sore throat, coughing, and wheezing, as the spores irritate the larynx and cause swelling.

If you have experienced health complications and allergic reactions due to mold, seek medical help immediately and get an expert restoration company to assess your home.

Why You Need Mold Remediation Services

Mold remediation services are necessary when you notice signs of mold in your home. Be proactive and take the following steps:

• Get a plumber to fix any damaged pipes to prevent further leaks and stop additional damage to your property.
• Call for a professional mold inspection and remediation service like Restoration 1.

Mold remediation is best left in the hands of a professional, but some homeowners choose to go the DIY route. When dealing with mold, always wear protective clothing, a mask or respirator, goggles, rubber boots, and gloves. You don’t want the mold to touch any part of your body or allow the spores to get into your eyes or respiratory system. You can also wear a mold-resistant suit or disposable clothing if you are dealing with a significant mold infestation.

Working with Professionals

Mold can be hazardous, especially when left unchecked. An expert property restoration and mold remediation service will help you eliminate mold completely without having to worry about recurrence. At Restoration 1, we use the following when eliminating mold from your property:

• EPA-Approved Antimicrobial Agents: This family of mold-killing antifungals is often not sold to the general public. They are crucial in killing mold and preventing their growth and should only be used by trained professionals.
• Air-Filtration Devices: These prevent mold spores from spreading. They isolate mold spores and destroy them.
• HEPA Vacuum: High-Efficiency Particulate Air vacuums trap allergens. Industrial-quality HEPA vacuums recover mold spores more effectively than commercial models.
