Black Mold Removal in Santa Rosa – What Is Black Mold?

September 5, 2018

Nobody wants mold in their home, but certain forms are much more dangerous than others. Investing in black mold removal is crucial to ensure that you keep your Santa Rosa home in great shape and avoid the health problems that come from this particular type of mold.

Where Does Mold Thrive?

Mold thrives in warm, moist regions. In many cases, mold growth begins after a region becomes wet and never properly dries. When left alone, mold can continue to grow and often create devastating damage to your home and body.

Common mold growth areas include:

  • Basement
  • Bathroom
  • Attic
  • Under the sink
  • Under a waterbed

But each individual mold spore is so small that it is impossible to see them with the naked eye. This means you can have black mold growing in your home without even knowing it.

Black Mold Health Problems

When mold spores are left untreated, they can spread and multiply very quickly. And when you are exposed to black mold spores, you can experience health problems that can also accelerate very fast. Common symptoms of black mold exposure include coughing, runny nose, red itchy eyes, sore throat, skin rashes, and asthma-like symptoms.

To avoid exposure, clean up and dry wet areas as soon as possible. But in situations where mold growth is already present, it’s time to contact a professional.
