What to Look For

An organism which causes some of the most dangerous health hazards is none other than molds which are present in every part of our world.

Present everywhere, they are classified on the basis of those which cause harm and those which are harmless. A normal person cannot identify the one from another and that is why someone, who has an extensive experience is needed for such an identification. The shops are also full of kits which guarantee a complete treatment, but without complete knowledge, such kits are of little use.

Where to look for this fungus in your property?

These fungi are seen in places which are dark and full of dampness. The most commonly infested places include a bathroom, kitchen sink, damp basements, dark garages or store rooms, buildings, cellars, etc. In short, areas which are not exposed too much to fresh air and sun rays have a risk of possible growth of this kind of fungus.

A very important factor in detecting such a problem is called checking the indoor air quality. The presence of molds reduces the air quality which results in the inhabitants facing many problems including difficulty in breathing, congestion, coughing, wheezing, etc. On a much more dangerous level, this fungus can damage the nerve cells of the brain and cause damage which is beyond repair and in a few cases, even death.

It is, therefore, highly recommended to have a building checked by a professional who has the qualification as well as the ability to provide a complete and thorough examination as well as a treatment for the property.

If you find signs of such a growth in your house or feel that your house may be infected, you can take a few precautionary steps before calling a professional service.

• Take care of any leakage or seepage.
• Separate the infested items from the clean ones. If you can take them out in the sunlight.
• Try to reduce the moisture level of your house through any air conditioning that you may be using.
• Wash of the black marks of infection through detergent or soap.

These steps, however, are in no way a replacement of a professional treatment. These may be considered as the first aid before the doctor arrives. Therefore, whenever you see or have an inkling that there may be such a growth taking place in your house, give us a call and we will take care of the rest.
