Even Animals Suffer From a Mold Infestation

For some homeowners, the prospect of mold infestation never becomes a problem while for others, a home with mold has been a reality. When mold infests a home, it causes damage that must be repaired. It also poses a health issue not only for humans, but also for pets.

Health-Related Issues

For humans, a variety of issues can result from black mold growth. These include:

  • Sinus infections
  • Allergic reactions
  • Asthma
  • Stuffy or runny nose
  • Difficulty in breathing
  • Eye irritation

For pets, common health issues can include:

  • Upper respiratory problems
  • Eye ulcers

Depending on the severity of the mold infestation can determine the type of treatment necessary.

Mold Remediation

This was the standard process of choice for many years. Through this process, infected building materials are removed and replaced. This can be a time consuming process as it will take however long is necessary to make repairs especially if remediation encompasses a large area. Remediation can also be expensive as it requires hands-on labor to remove the affected areas containing mold.

Mold Treatment

At Stern, our experienced NJ mold treatment technicians use a different approach using MoldExterm. This treatment addresses the source of the mold versus just the symptoms.

MoldExterm does not involve the removal and reconstruction of infested areas. It is safer, cost-effective, and takes much less time than remediation. The versatile and durable product removes and kills the toxic mold and provides a base that resists future infestations of mold, mildew or other microbial contaminants.
