Mold F.A.Q's
Can Mold Cause Health Problems?
Molds produce allergens
(substances that can cause allergic
reactions), irritants, and in some
cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins).
Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores
may cause allergic reactions in
sensitive individuals. Allergic
responses include hay fever-type
symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose,
red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis).
Allergic reactions to mold are common.
They can be immediate or delayed. Molds
can also cause asthma attacks in people
with asthma who are allergic to mold. In
addition, mold exposure can irritate the
eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of
both mold-allergic and non-allergic
people. Symptoms other than the allergic
and irritant types are not commonly
reported as a result of inhaling mold.
Research on mold and health effects is
ongoing. For more detailed information
consult a health professional. You may
also wish to consult your state or local
health department.

Why Test for Mold?
Although you may see or smell the mold
in your home testing is still a priority
in the beginning, and final stages of
the removal. The initial test
establishes what conditions and types of
molds exist in the structure. This
allows the remediation company to use
the proper materials and set up
containment areas where needed.
Testing should be done a second time
after the remediation job is complete to
ensure that the harmful materials were
removed. It is very important to get the
tests from a 3rd party company. A mold
remediation company who offers testing,
or a testing company offering
remediation, should be considered a
conflict of interest.

How to Fix a Mold Problem?
The mold spores will not likely grow if
moisture is not present. Indoor mold
growth can and should be prevented or
controlled by controlling moisture
indoors. If there is mold growth in your
home, you must clean up the mold and fix
the water problem.
When you clean up the mold, but don't
fix the water problem, then, most
likely, the mold problem will come back.
Mold remediation should only be
performed by an experienced contractor
who understands the danger of the
process. Improper containment areas and
removal can result in a cross
contaminated structure with a more
widespread problem then existed before
the work began.

Is There 'Hidden Mold'?
You may suspect hidden mold if a
building smells moldy, but you cannot
see the source, or if you know there has
been water damage and residents are
reporting health problems. Mold may be
hidden in places such as the back side
of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the
top side of ceiling tiles, the underside
of carpets and pads, etc. Other possible
locations of hidden mold include areas
inside walls around pipes (with leaking
or condensing pipes), the surface of
walls behind furniture (where
condensation forms), inside ductwork,
and in roof materials above ceiling
tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient
insulation).
Investigating hidden mold problems may
be difficult and will require caution
when the investigation involves
disturbing potential sites of mold
growth. For example, removal of
wallpaper can lead to a massive release
of spores if there is mold growing on
the underside of the paper. If you
believe that you may have a hidden mold
problem, consider hiring an experienced
professional.
