Beyond a simple eyesore, mold growing in your home or office may cause health problems, building decay, and damage to your belongings. Often times, however, black mold begins to proliferate in hard-to-see places like the inside of walls and ceilings, and will only become apparent after the problem has already become quite bad. While mold is not always dangerous, it is important to address the issue to protect the most vulnerable members of your household such as children, the elderly, those who suffer from allergies or asthma, or immune compromised individuals.
