Is Toxic Home Mold Really That Big Of A Problem? - Medical Issues

Home Mold Test I guess we need to define what a problem actually is, before we can answer this question. If you look at a problem as something that will cost you a lot of money or create safety problems for your family, you're at the right spot. If you look at a problem as something that needs to be solved by someone other than yourself, you can stop reading right here.

Toxic home mold is a really big problem, but in most cases, it's not going to be a life-threatening one. However, if you have allergies or other health related issues and you can't be around mold, this could be a completely different situation. Mold could be creating big health problems for these people.

Mold in your home shouldn't be taken lightly and should be cleaned up constantly. If you have a problem where mold continues to keep growing, there's a good chance that you have a problem with your home or building that needs to be repaired. Mold is only going to keep growing as long as there is plenty of moisture. Get rid of the moisture and there's a good chance that you will get rid of the mold.

What other types of damage can mold do, besides creating health problems for people? Mold can and will damage your home, if the situation isn't fixed as soon as possible. I have seen mold and fungus destroy structural framing components in floors, walls and roofs.

Once this starts to happen, your home might not be safe to live in. If you're worried about mold in your home, you could always do a mold test. These tests usually cost under $20 and it could be money well spent, especially if you have health problems.

I believe the tester used some kind of box to sample the air in the rooms of the house. Is an outside test usually taken for comparison?

How should I deal with a damp musty basement?
My husband and I bought our house a year ago. Right after we moved in, our cat sprayed an area of the basement, which is carpeted, in protest. We had a professional come out to clean it, which took care of the smell and staining. About 7 months later, the basement started to smell again, and the carpet was damp. We thought it was the cat spraying again, so we had the carpet recleaned. Again it worked temporarily, but recently the basement started to smell really musty, and we found that the enter area of the basement carpeting was damp. We bought a dehumidifier and ran it for a week, which seemed to dry up the carpet and pull out the musty smell. However, we decided to do a home mold test, and the test came out positive for some sort of mold. We don't know where the water is coming from, so I'm hoping we won't have to rip the carpet up. I'm not against it but of course I would prefer it if we didn't have to. But if there is any other precautions we can take to clean up and prevent this from happening, I'd love to try them. Any advice or suggestions? I should mention, the home mold test we did was a home self-test kit, not a professional test.
