More about Mold Removal

Mold is a fungus that emits toxic spores into your home. No one wants to buy a house with a mold problem. Aside from its unsightly appearance and unpleasant odor, mold can cause serious health problems. In the worst cases, a few types of molds produce mycotoxins, which can cause rashes, seizures, unusual bleeding, respiratory problems, and severe fatigue in susceptible people. Fortunately, most molds are non-toxic and harmless.
