Avoid Health Risks from Mold

There’s a misconception that mold can only make you sick if you accidentally ingest it. In reality, you don’t have to have direct skin contact with a mold colony to expose yourself to health risks. Mold spores can fly around the area where the colony is, allowing them to land on your skin and get inhaled. There are negative effects that your health can suffer when you’re heavily exposed to mold:

• Skin irritation – some people have skin that’s sensitive to mold spores and their tubular Hyphae. This can result in redness and itching for these individuals.
• Allergic reactions and asthma attacks – When mold spores are inhaled, there’s a wide variety of respiratory disorders that can ensue. People with strong immune systems may not feel the effects, but other people can experience wheezing and watering in their noses. People with pre-existing allergies to mold cam experience more severe symptoms. The greatest concern would be for people with asthma. Mold can trigger attacks and make breathing very difficult for afflicted individuals.
• Neurotoxicity – Under certain conditions, regular black mold can produce poisonous mycotoxins. When this happens, watch out. Headaches, nausea and malaise are some of the milder symptoms of neurotoxicity. In some of the worst cases, bleeding and even cancer have been linked to mycotoxin exposure.

REMOVING MOLD FROM CARPETING

Mold can be very dangerous in a home or building, especially if you have had mold growing in your walls or even within your carpet for years.  Because mold is dangerous and can be potentially fatal, it is imperative to get rid of mold from your home or building as soon as possible.  Early detection and fast removal and elimination is in order.

Begin the process of getting rid of the mold from your home or building by assessing your current situation and determining how much mold damage you have within carpet throughout different areas of the facility. Determining how extensive your mold problem is will help to determine the best methods of cleaning and treating the mold completely.

Finding the source of any mold spots you locate is a way for you to begin ridding it from the carpet itself. Once you have located, it is best to get a professional assessment immediately.  There are many local mold remediation companies that might offer the service for a nominal fee.

It is also important to stop mold spores and mold itself from traveling throughout your property within your air ducts and ventilation system. Proper vent covering during the mold removal process will prevent mold spores from migrating to other areas.

The antimicrobial that will be used best in your facility can be determined by an industry certified professional.  Always ask the type of product that is being used, and if there are any harmful effects caused after such product recommendations.  Any mold remediation process will need to use some sort of contaminant prevention chemical to fully kill the existing mold.

It is important to have the carpet pulled back and thoroughly checked to make sure that the backing and the subfloor alike is not carrying in mold deposits, spots or any type of hidden mold activity.  Once the area is carefully examined and all mold spores are removed, it is an excellent idea to have an air quality test done to ensure all the mold or contaminants have been properly eliminated.

* If you are dealing with an excessive mold issue, have asthma or a compromised immune system, or a toxic mold in your home, you should avoid cleaning or removing it yourself and contact a professional mold remediation company.
