MOLD X2 TREATMENT FOR ATTICS AND CRAWLSPACES

Mold in your crawlspace or attic can develop in a variety of ways, especially when water is present, as this can create molds ideal environment. Whether a home faces high humidity or a constant presence of water leaking in, this hazardous allergen can create aesthetic and respiratory ailments alike. Removing said mold from your home is crucial for your family's health.

While contractors might ignore the presence of mold if they don't know how to handle it, it should not be overlooked. In the PNW, the three most common types of molds found in homes include aspergillus, cladosporium and stachybotrys (also known as black mold).

• Aspergillus is common in many homes and is likely to grow on any damp surface, but it’s difficult to pinpoint because there are more than 180 Aspergillus mold strains and many are different colors. According to the Mayo Clinic, most strains of this allergenic mold are harmless, but a few can cause serious illnesses or result in a fungal infection known as aspergillosis in people whose immune systems are weak. Since testing is the only way to determine if the type of mold in your home is Aspergillus, your best bet is to clean away all types of molds as soon as you spot it.
• Cladosporium species prefer growing indoors in textiles, such as carpeting and upholstered furniture, it can also show up beneath sinks and inside cabinets. It has a soft appearance and comes in shades of green to brown. High indoor humidity levels increase the risk of Cladosporium growing. Inhaling the spores can cause respiratory symptoms such as a sore throat and irritated sinuses. The spores also can affect pets, causing runny eyes and sneezing. Frequent cleaning of carpeting and upholstery with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) fitted vacuum can add in removing Cladosporium spores from a home before they take hold. Using a dehumidifier can also help.
•        Stachybotrys is commonly called “black mold” for its greenish-black color, Stachybotrys is a toxigenic mold that thrives in wet conditions and is most likely to be found on cellulose-type materials, such as wood, drywall, or even stacks of damp leaves. It starts out as small black spots that become larger and spread. Stachybotrys is a dangerous mold that can cause a host of physical symptoms, including severe headaches, unexplained nosebleeds, upper-respiratory discomfort, and fatigue. It also might cause bleeding in infants’ lungs. If a family member has any symptoms and you’re concerned your home might be infested with black mold, call a mold remediation expert who can test the mold and determine the best way to remedy the issue. On the positive side, many types of molds are black, but most are not actually Stachybotrys.
