What is Mold?

MOLD is also called mildew and is often found in dark crawl spaces and wet basements.

Mold produces tiny particles called spores which can be harmful to both people and animals. Spores release chemicals that cause allergic reactions and a wide range of respiratory issues which can include bronchitis and chronic pulmonary diseases.

The most effective way to prevent mold related illnesses is to stop mold at its source. This means stopping the moisture thats causing the mold. Keeping the house dry in particular crawl spaces or basements is essential in stopping mold in its tracks.

Mold usually gives an unpleasant, musty odor and is seen by its visual discoloration. Expert Waterproofing is dedicated to providing a healthy living. We believe that a dry basement is the can help deter mold infestation and structural damage to your home.
