Celebrity Home Resale Sickens Buyers’ Daughter – Mold Found!

Protect Your Precious Family and Children from Mold

Even the Ultimate Fighting Championship league has a set of rules. According to a couple in California whose daughter developed terrible symptoms of mold-related illness, some of the most important rules of real estate were broken by star fighter Chuck Liddell’s agents.

Did Chuck Liddell Sell a House with Mold?

In 2014, Liddell put his home up for sale and the Smith family expressed interest. The deal fell through, so Liddell’s agent, Dustin Ward, let them rent the house and offered to find them a loan. They wound up in escrow for a home they didn’t really want.

However, the story takes a sordid turn as the Smith’s 9-year-old daughter began suffering from nose bleeds and respiratory problems. They also found a water leak they believe to be preexisting and known to Liddell’s camp.

The family alleges that Liddell and Ward knew about the leak and mold. They believe Ward aggressively pushed the Smiths into the home to cover up a failed inspection and pass off the mold-infested house like a hot potato.

With a conference set for late August, it looks like Liddell and the other defendants will have to agree to a settlement to avoid a trial.

Mold in Your Home – What to Know

What Do You Do When You Find Mold?

What Do You Do When You Find Mold?

When you suspect mold in your home, the first thing you should do is to set aside any feelings of panic or pointing fingers. There’s often nobody to blame for mold problems. Mold spores exist virtually everywhere on earth, and the bare necessities for mold to grow are present in every home—water, oxygen, and food.

At Stern Mold, we educate you about how to prevent mold, and believe that the best NYC mold removal treatment not only kills the present mold, but also keeps it from returning.

Mold Science 101

For starters, here are some basic facts about mold that every homeowner, apartment dweller, and landlord should know:

• Mold needs oxygen, so a sealed surface cannot grow mold underneath.

• Mold needs food, but its food can be wood, paper, or other bio matter.

• Mold needs moisture, so a holistic approach to NYC mold removal includes removing the root causes and adding dehumidifiers if necessary.

• Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye and can go inactive for months or years before regenerating a mold infestation if left behind.

The Latest NYC Mold Removal Method

Household cleaners can kill visible mold, but the tiny spores will remain unless you go through one of two options:

• Mold remediation, where a contractor rips out drywall and other infected areas

• Or MoldExterm, the less expensive, less invasive solution which applies a powerful fungicide and then seals the surface so any remaining spores cannot grow new mold

Our customer reviews demonstrate how fast, easy, and effective our NYC mold removal process is. Arm yourself with knowledge about mold, then take action and call Stern Mold for a free mold inspection!

Truth or Fiction: Should I Be Worried About Mold?

Not All Mold Needs Treatment, Get a Free Inspection

Not All Mold Needs Treatment, Get a Free Inspection

The way late-night local news and personal injury attorneys describe it, you might have the impression that mold carries enormous, fatal health risks for everybody. That’s not exactly true.

On the one hand, landlords and businesses should worry about mold-related lawsuits. On the other, people can relax—just a bit—knowing that many horror stories about mold are exaggerated.

Mold often triggers painful symptoms in people with respiratory problems. Breathing in too much mold can even hurt healthy people. More commonly, mold damages property when left untreated.

Common Myths About Mold

Gailen Marshall of UT Medical School recently delineated some of the facts and fiction about mold:

• Various types of mold exist everywhere, inside and outside our homes

• Mold has not been proven to cause brain damage

• You should not pay for a mold test (we offer a free inspection for peace of mind)

• Most mold problems do not have to turn your life upside down (Stern Mold can kill mold without ripping out drywall!)

• People with allergies, asthma, and compromised immune systems are the most likely to experience mold health problems

The Best Way to Treat Mold

At Stern Mold, we don’t like to use fear-mongering to sell our NJ mold removal service. The truth about mold is bad enough.

Untreated mold causes serious property damage and can cause or exacerbate lung diseases and breathing problems.

What you might not know is that NJ mold removal has gotten cheap and fast. Stern Mold’s scientifically advanced system kills mold and seals surfaces so that the spores never grow back.

Is It a Sinus Infection or Mold Exposure?

Make sure it's Just a Sinus Infection.

Make sure it’s Just a Sinus Infection.

NYC mold removal is becoming more important than ever. Case in point: Did you know that a sinus infection may not be quite what it seems? That’s right. Research conducted by the Mayo Clinic has found that chronic sinus infections were caused by exposure to mold in 9 out of 10 cases! These findings have differed from as little as 20 years ago when physicians believed that virtually all sinus infections were caused by either a virus or a bacteria.

Home and Work

Both home and work environments were the cause for these findings, as being exposed in either place was enough to both cause a sinus infection and prevent it from going away. And when you think about it, a warm dark and moist place, exactly like inside of your nose, is a perfect breeding place for mold.

What’s the Difference?

A genuine sinus infection and a mold-borne sinus infection are very similar. Headaches, congestion, discolored discharge and pressure in your sinus area are all symptoms of a genuine sinus infection and they are the same symptoms of a fungal sinus infection.

Treatment

Since antibiotics do not affect fungal sinusitis, non-invasive surgery may be required to kill the mold in your sinus cavity. A simple probe is inserted into your nostrils and the treatment is highly effective.

If you have any questions about mold infestation, what to do to keep mold at bay, or if you would like a free mold inspection, contact Stern Mold. We are the experts at NYC mold removal!

National Poison Control Weighs In On the Dangers of Mold Exposure

Get Help From Our Professionals To Find and Remove Your Mold.

Organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have posted information and warnings about the dangers of mold in homes and workplaces. The National Capital Poison Center is also speaking out about mold exposure and its effects on health.

How Mold Impacts You

The Center acknowledges the unsightly cosmetic effects of mold, but points out that there are more serious dangers involved:

• Mold grows on organic materials such as wood and paper, which can result in structural damage that affects a building’s integrity.

• Health problems have been linked with exposure to mold and mold spores. Studies show that mold can have negative effects through infections, irritations and immune responses such as allergic symptoms.

Where Does Mold Come From?

Mold spores are always present in the air, although they are sometimes tracked indoors via shoes and clothes. There are thousands of types of mold, each with their own characteristics. Some grow in food, while others can be found on wood or bathroom grout.

The one common thread uniting all types of mold is water, which is a necessary component for growth. Recently flooded areas or excessively humid spots like basements and bathrooms are prime targets for mold infestations.

Let Stern Mold Solve Your NYC Mold Removal Problems

The Center recommends that NYC mold removal be done by experienced professionals who can handle the job safely and effectively. We use a proprietary two-step process called MoldExterm that is non-toxic, eco-friendly and non-intrusive to building surfaces and structures.
