Even Animals Suffer From a Mold Infestation
For some homeowners, the prospect of mold infestation never becomes a problem while for others, a home with mold has been a reality. When mold infests a home, it causes damage that must be repaired. It also poses a health issue not only for humans, but also for pets.
For humans, a variety of issues can result from black mold growth. These include:
- Sinus infections
- Allergic reactions
- Asthma
- Stuffy or runny nose
- Difficulty in breathing
- Eye irritation
For pets, common health issues can include:
- Upper respiratory problems
- Eye ulcers
Depending on the severity of the mold infestation can determine the type of treatment necessary.
Mold Remediation
This was the standard process of choice for many years. Through this process, infected building materials are removed and replaced. This can be a time consuming process as it will take however long is necessary to make repairs especially if remediation encompasses a large area. Remediation can also be expensive as it requires hands-on labor to remove the affected areas containing mold.

MoldExterm does not involve the removal and reconstruction of infested areas. It is safer, cost-effective, and takes much less time than remediation.
