We are a restoration company, not doctors. What we can say is what health agencies publish and what we see: symptoms often improve once the moisture and growth are removed.
This topic is part of our complete guide to mold remediation. The articles for this topic are listed at the end of the page.
Who is most affected
- People with allergies or asthma.
- Infants and young children.
- Older adults.
- People with weakened immune systems or chronic lung conditions.
What to do
- Talk to a doctor about symptoms.
- Don't disturb large areas of mold yourself.
- Keep the area closed off until it is remediated.
- Fix the moisture source.
During remediation we use containment and HEPA air filtration to keep spores out of the rest of the house.
