Today we experience many natural disasters, the majority of which bring about some sort of flooding or water damage. Even in the case of major wildfires, the water it takes to combat the disaster threatens homes and property. While there are a variety of problems connected with water damage, the one that really can threaten property, and more importantly, a person’s health, is mold.

Mold is an insidious and often hidden problem for home and businesses, and as it spreads, it poses a larger danger than just being unsightly. Mold spores can cause allergic reactions, asthma attacks, chronic sinus problems, poisoning by mycotoxins and fungal infections. The problems can extend even to fatigue and depression.
