Mold and Mildew Cleanup - Los Angeles County

Mold and mildew present serious health hazards

Mold as seen under a microscope

"All molds have the potential to cause health effects," according to the EPA. "They can produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions or even asthma attacks in people allergic to mold. Others are known to produce potent toxins and/or irritants."

Mold Remediation is a job for qualified professionals.

A postage size area of mold can contain over 65 million mold spores. Disturbing the mold colony can release these spores into the air.

Because of the inherent dangers associated with mold, the EPA cautions you to avoid exposing yourself or others to mold. In fact, the EPA advises if you are going to take on the task of mold cleaning yourself, to "avoid breathing in mold or mold spores and to limit your exposure to airborne mold, to wear an N-95 respirator, rubber gloves and goggles."

Keep in mind that visible mold is typically only the tip of the iceberg, and usually a sign that the problem may already be extensive. It is not uncommon to find 10 times or more mold growth out of sight inside the crevices of a wall or within an HVAC system.
