Mold is one of the most common problems in households across the world but it’s also one of the most dangerous. It’s a living fungus that releases toxic chemicals into the air of your home. Even if you have good ventilation and leave all your windows open (which, let’s be honest, is unlikely), most of those chemicals will remain trapped inside your property. Since humans spend about 90% of their days indoors, you’ll then be constantly breathing in those toxins.

Over time, the toxins start to damage your lungs. There’s plenty of evidence to suggest that this will eventually cause lung cancer. Living in a moldy home is therefore similar to being a prolific smoker. That’s why you need to hire a mold remediation specialist as soon as you spot any signs of mold in your home.
