Mold Remediation from The Steam Team

Mold is one of the most serious health risks faced by homeowners in today’s world. All it takes is one small, damp area left unchecked and without light for a couple days and mold can begin to grow and start causing health problems for anyone around. That’s why we’re here! We want to inform you on mold and how we can help eliminate it from your home or business.

What’s So Bad About Mold?

The negative health effects of mold can be very different depending on the person. In environments with mold, many people experience nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, throat irritation, skin irritation and cough. People who have specific allergies to mold can experience much more severe symptoms. Those with pre-existing lung conditions can develop serious infections from being in an environment with mold- so, with all of this in mind, it’s clear to see that mold should be eliminated from any property as soon as it’s discovered.
