Mold is everywhere. It grows anywhere moisture is present, finding a home on wood, paper, carpet, drywall, books, stored clothing, furniture, concrete and food. While many molds are not harmful and can be cleaned with detergent and water, some can irritate those who are allergic or those with respiratory ailments. Children, pets, the elderly, and immune compromised individuals are most susceptible to mold allergies. If you suffer from a headache, stuffy nose, or some type of allergic reaction when home that is relieved shortly after leaving the building, it’s possible that these symptoms are caused or worsened by indoor air pollutants and allergens such as mold spores.

Mold and allergies are a serious problem!  The American Lung Association reports that 88 million people in the United States suffer from some sort of respiratory distress, and 50% of homes have at least one person living inside that has allergies, asthma, or another respiratory ailment. Mold spores can rise throughout the home from lower levels, creating problems for the entire household. It’s important that Connecticut home and business owners clean up mold before the problem becomes serious.

To determine the type of mold that is in your home or business, ServiceMaster will work with an independent environmental lab to ascertain the type of mold and the amount present. We will then follow the IICRC S-500 standards for remediating the mold in Connecticut homes and businesses. The Environmental Protection Agency provides extensive information about mold on their website: www.epa.gov/mold.
