Reoccuring Mold Problems Are Very Hard for Homeowners to Treat

If you find mold in your house, don’t be fooled by its seemingly uncomplicated appearance. Without proper mold treatment from the start, chances are good that the problem will reoccur, becoming more stubborn each time.

Experts say that the weather of this past winter may have created optimum conditions for mold growth. With inadequate ventilation resulting from your home being closed up for an extended period, the build-up of moisture from rain, snow and ice results in the perfect breeding ground.

A mold infestation is much more than simply a cosmetic problem. Mold can cause serious health issues ranging from coughing and sneezing to dizziness, headaches and rashes. Consequences can be even more severe for individuals who are already suffering from asthma or other upper respiratory illnesses.

The deceptively simple visual appearance of mold may make it tempting to treat the problem yourself. However, DIY methods are likely to be counterproductive by causing cross-contamination that ends up spreading the infestation rather than resolving it.

A good rule of thumb is to call in professional help if the mold patch is larger than the size of a dinner plate. Mold often develops in hidden or less visible areas, so even if you don’t actually see it, you should have your home inspected if you suspect its presence.
