It is easy to recognize the stale, musty smell of mold. Do you have some area of your home where you suspect there might be mold growing? If so, you need to get it remediated quickly before it becomes a health problem for you and your family.

Common symptoms of mold in the home are similar to those of a cold, such as a runny nose and eyes, a sore throat and a tight chest. Due to this, it could easily be overlooked, but if you have allergies, the symptoms could become much worse.

To avoid having mold problems in the first place, your main concern should be to keep your home dry. Never leave water spills, wet clothes and towels or anything similar sitting on the floor for a long period of time. Ensure good ventilation throughout the home, and periodically air out your home by opening up a few windows to create a cross breeze.
