Five Symptoms of Mold Exposure

Mold allergies are easily treatable when properly diagnosed, so it is important for individuals  who suspect their symptoms may be related to mold to consult with an allergy specialist or a  physician to determine an appropriate course of treatment. Taking steps such as repairing water  leaks and installing dehumidifiers in the home can also help to hinder mold growth and relieve  mold allergy symptoms. Understanding what causes mold allergies and taking preventative  measures to avoid exposure are essential in managing symptoms. 

Itching Eyes
Itching eyes are a common allergic symptom that can develop following exposure to mold  spores, pet dander and seasonal pollens. Individuals who experience itchy eyes during wet or  humid weather or when moisture levels are high inside the home may be suffering from mold  allergy symptoms. 

Stuffy Nose & Post Nasal Drip
Nasal congestion is a common mold allergy symptom that is often triggered after periods of wet  weather or when an individual is exposed to mold spores in the home. When nasal stuffiness  occurs, it is often accompanied by postnasal drip, a condition in which nasal secretions run  down the back of the throat. Additional symptoms of postnasal drip include bad breath and  coughing. 

Itching Throat
Individuals with mold allergies may also experience an itching sensation in the throat. Itching  throat symptoms are typically caused by postnasal drip, but can also be a symptom of a serious  allergic reaction that can lead to throat swelling if left untreated. It is important for sufferers to  seek medical attention if itchy throat symptoms are present to ensure prompt treatment. 

Sinus Headaches
Mold spores can cause the sinuses to become congested, which in turn can trigger sinus  headaches in individuals with mold allergies. Sinus headaches cause pain and pressure in the  forehead and sinus cavities. In certain cases, sinus pressure can also cause tooth and ear pain.  Sinus headaches tend to worsen when lying down. 

Exacerbated Asthma Symptoms
Individuals with mold allergies who also suffer from asthma may experience exacerbated  asthma symptoms when exposed to mold. Asthma symptoms include chest tightness, wheezing  and coughing. Anyone experiencing a severe asthma attack following possible mold exposure  should seek immediate medical attention. 

Early identification of mold can lead to preventing costly damage to your home business. It can  also be an indicator as to why individuals within the dwelling have been ill. If you think you may  have a mold issue in your home or business and want to get a comprehensive mold test, call  the mold professionals at Mold Solutions & Inspections.

I can't recommend MSI highly enough. Joe responded promptly to my mold testing request and sent out his team the day of. It only took a few days to receive the results via email, and he helped me interpret them over the phone. Throughout the process he was very reachable by email, phone, and text. Exceptional service and team - thank you Joe!

Joe is amazing. He is easily the most helpful and reliable person I've used for any kind of home services. He responds quickly to all my questions and goes above and beyond to help. I have a very old stone basement that is prone to water and humidity issues and I'm very grateful that I have Joe to help me out with it. I can't recommend him and MSI enough.

After Ida left our basement floor soaked I called several businesses to try to get the remediation process started before the mold went out of control. Joe, the owner of MSI, called me back within the hour, explained that (understandably) they were very busy, but did arrange for someone to assess the damage that day. Joe kept in communication with me, promised he'd get me on the schedule within a couple of days, and did so. Joe and his team were professional, up-front and thorough. The service from MSI was exceptional. There are not many businesses that are still run this way.

Joe is the owner and truly cares about the quality of his work. Joe is professional, punctual, knowledgeable, honest, fair. Joe showed up on time and educated me on the whole process as he performed it. Joe personally called me when the results were in and explained the results. Thank goodness no mold was detected! I (and my friends and family) will be using MSI for all our mold issue!

I have called on Joe and his team at MSI three times over the past 7 years. Each time, they were prompt to respond, extremely professional, friendly, quick and thorough. This last time we had a water leak from our third floor bathroom that seeped down to our first floor kitchen. It actually was a great relief in the back of my mind to know that I already had a great contractor in mind. I emailed Joe at 4 am on a Sunday morning and he was on the phone with me by 10 am. He squeezed me into his calendar even though he was already booked solid from a hurricane that had blown through our region the previous week. He is just one of those people who you want to have on your speed dial as a homeowner, even if you hope never to have to use his services. Highly recommend him.
