Mold growth can be a silent invader in your home or business, posing serious health risks and structural concerns. If left unchecked, it can spread rapidly, compromising air quality and the integrity of your property. In Alberta, where varying climates create the perfect breeding ground for mold, recognizing the signs of mold presence is crucial.
Health Risks of Mold Exposure
Mold spores can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems. Prolonged exposure may lead to chronic health conditions, including fatigue, skin irritation, and severe lung infections.
Structural Damage
Beyond health risks, mold can compromise your property’s structural integrity. It feeds on organic materials like wood, drywall, and insulation, leading to costly repairs if not addressed promptly.
