Mold growth can be a giant issue in your home, for many different reasons. While it is not only harmful to you and your family, it is also harmful to the structure of your home. Let’s take a look at some of these items, and reasons why you would want to call a professional plumber to help you get rid of this mold growth.
Health Risks
In terms of health risks, these can range from person to person. If you are allergic to mold, this can have a massive effect on your day to day life. In terms of allergies, this is one of the most prevalent allergens in a home, other than dust. This could cause throat irritation, as well as coughing, wheezing and skin irritation.
Continual Growth
Mold will only continue to grow if you do not nip the problem in the bud. With mold, the spores will just continue to grow until it causes severe damage to your home.
Structural Problems
In terms of your home structure, this can have an impact. If the mold grows, it can eventually lead to structural problems in your home, destroying wood, and making your home potentially dangerous to live in.
