Mold is a type of fungus that can grow both indoors and outdoors. In Tennessee and Northern Alabama, mold thrives in warm, humid environments. Mold spores are invisible to the naked eye and can travel through the air. When mold spores land on a wet or damp surface, they can begin to grow and multiply.
Mold can cause a variety of health problems, including respiratory problems, headaches, and skin irritation. People with allergies or asthma are especially susceptible to the effects of mold. In some cases, mold exposure can lead to serious respiratory illnesses, such as pneumonia.
Mold growth can be prevented by controlling moisture and humidity levels in your home or business. If you suspect that you have a mold problem, it is important to contact a professional mold remediation company as soon as possible. A professional mold remediation company will be able to assess the extent of the mold growth and develop a plan to remove the mold and prevent future growth.
