The Link Between Mold and Structural Damage

Mold is a type of fungi that can grow both indoors and outdoors. It is often found in damp or humid environments, and can spread quickly if not properly treated. Mold can cause a variety of health problems, including respiratory issues, skin irritation, and headaches. In severe cases, mold exposure can lead to death.

Mold can also cause structural damage to buildings. This is because mold feeds on organic materials, such as wood and drywall. When mold starts to grow on these materials, it can cause them to rot and break down. This can lead to serious problems, such as collapsed ceilings, walls, and floors.

If you suspect that mold is growing in your home or office, it is important to have it professionally removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, you could be putting yourself and others at risk for serious health problems.
