Musty Odors

Just let us know what signs you are noticing and where you suspect the mold is. We can take it from there and complete an in-depth inspection to locate any mold and also determine the source of the problem.
Physical Reactions
Mold is very dangerous for your health. It is important to know that mold spores are always in the air around you. But an infestation greatly increases the number of spores that you are breathing. Mold can lead to physical symptoms like itchy skin, a persistent cough, sinus problems, and even severe headaches.
You may think you are suffering from allergy symptoms since mold is essentially an allergen that your body is reacting to. However, if you suspect mold at all, we encourage you to schedule a service appointment rather than taking your chances.
You shouldn’t have to suffer through the symptoms of a mold problem. Once we help you eradicate the growth from your home, you’ll be able to breathe easier and feel more comfortable overall in your home with better indoor air quality.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
And speaking of indoor air quality, sometimes a change in indoor air quality is one of the earlier signs of a mold infestation. Even before you smell a strong odor or develop severe symptoms, a mold infestation may begin impacting the air quality of your home.
For example, the air around your home may feel humid, which can actually be one of the problems contributing to the mold growth to begin with. The air may also seem stale or heavy due to the additional spores in the air. Even though you may not be able to pinpoint exactly what is wrong, you may still have a distinct feeling that something is wrong, and you should always listen to your intuition.
