It is no surprise that mold is present in more than 60% of all of the homes in the USA due to moisture and rain.
Mold was found in most of the homes tested according to the University of Arizona study at the 60th annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI).
Water penetrates into the home via cracks from the exterior wall or stucco and stays inside the sub walls where temperatures are comfortable for mold to grow.
It is easy to detect mold by smell and vision but what happens if mold is left untreated?
Studies show that due to the high risk of becoming sick from mold exposure, mold removal is highly recommended to be treated by professionals.
The natural reaction and exposure of water to wood or insulation creates a nasty and toxic result of fungus and mold that sometimes cannot be seen to the naked eye but is extremely dangerous to breathe or be around.
If you smell something musty or earthy These are early signs of mold.
Later on, the mold spreads onto the drywall and if left untreated it could cause severe damage to the rest of the wall, furniture, clothes and eventually your respiratory system can cause aspergillosis.
Don’t leave this problem hanging and call the professionals at My Las Vegas Handyman to fully work on your mold removal.
At My Las Vegas Handyman we treat mold removal very seriously:
First of all, we create a containment to seal and isolate the infected area In order to completely reduce the spread of mold onto the rest of the home after detecting
the mold with our moisture detector.
Secondly, we make sure to demolish all the infected drywall, insulation, and 2×4’s and replace them.
After treating and removing the mold with our chemicals we restore the area back to day 1 condition.
This process usually takes 2-3 days depending on the size of mold and infection.
Another great solution to avoid mold in the future is to purchase a Moisture detector and inspect any suspected areas around the house.
