So you are currently ordered to stay in your home due to COVID-19. Look on the bright side now you can do all those things you have been putting off around the house! Being confined to a house that may contain toxic mold can cause serious health issues.

Symptoms of Household Mold

It’s impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores in your home, but because mold spores can’t grow without moisture, reducing moisture in your home is the best way to prevent or eliminate mold growth. If there is already mold growing in your home, it’s essential to clean up the mold and fix the problem, causing dampness. If you clean up the mold but don’t fix the problem, it will most likely return! The only way to know is to have mold sampling and testing done as soon as possible.
