You've provided some valuable information about the risks associated with unchecked mold indoors and the importance of professional mold testing. Mold can indeed be a serious issue for both the structural integrity of a home and the health of its occupants. Here's a breakdown of the key points you mentioned:
Structural Damage:
Mold can damage the structure of a home by causing wood rot and ruining drywall. This can weaken the building and lead to costly repairs.
Health Problems:
Mold can have adverse health effects, especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions. Exposure to mold spores can lead to symptoms like coughing, sneezing, skin rashes, and more severe health issues in some cases.
Quick Growth:
Mold can start growing rapidly, sometimes within 24 hours, when the conditions are right. These conditions typically include moisture and organic material for the mold to feed on.
Hidden Growth:
Mold often begins in areas that are not readily visible. This is why it's essential to be vigilant about signs and symptoms of mold, such as musty odors, water stains or damage, and high humidity.
