MOLD SYMPTOMS AND PREVENTION
Every day, millions suffer from the effects of mold. You don’t have to be one of them. We can make your home mold-free.
Mold Exposure Most Common Symptoms
Mold exposure symptoms are similar to those of other environmental allergens. If you are experiencing any of the following and can’t find the cause, we strongly suggest you hire a professional mold inspection company to check your home for any signs of mold:
Runny Nose
Headache/Migraine
Sinus Congestion

Mold can also have a harmful effect on your pets.
Mold Inspection in South Florida
South Florida’s humidity and warmth unfortunately give mold a good place to spread. Homeowners who don’t know they have mold can attribute health symptoms to other causes such as seasonal or pet allergies, or a common cold or sinus infection. This mistake happens because symptoms for all are essentially the same. And because mold often grows in places you can’t see it (inside walls, crawl spaces, heating/cooling ducts, under the floor), many people can feel sick for a long time before finding out the actual reason. That’s why it’s important to hire professional mold inspectors to check your home regularly.
