Why Basement Mold Removal is So Important
Basement Mold can be harmful to your health, and to the structure of your property. What you may not know is that the degree of danger with basement mold to your health is not only dependent on the type of mold present, but to a greater degree, the people that come in contact with. There are so many variables when it comes to the toxicity of mold, that no matter the mold type, it should always be deemed harmful from the get go.
When it comes to us humans, our immune systems and our bio-makeup are all different, one person that may be affected by allergy to one type of mold, may have no reaction to another, and a second person in the house may react completely the opposite, and so on and so forth. Add to that the status of each person’s immune system, and you have a chaotic situation that may be hard to unwind. If a member of a household, or an employee has a compromised immune system due to illness, or chronic conditions, they may be far more susceptible to the affects of present mold. Bottom line, to properly test for mold issues, you should also test each person for their mold sensitivities…we all know that’s not feasible in most cases, and the costs of doing so would escalate the overall basement mold removal costs, most clients take the stance that any mold is bad mold, and that the health of all involved is not worth the risk, and go ahead and undertake a mold removal project knowing that once done properly, there is little need to worry.
No Matter the Type, Source or Location of Your Mold Most Experts Agree it Should be Removed, That Includes the Removal of Basement Mold
“Any visible mold should be removed, no matter what its color or species,” says Tiina Reponen, PhD, professor of environmental health at the University of Cincinnati. “In a healthy building, you don’t have visible mold.”
Basement Mold Removal and Your Health | Chronic Illness Concerns
When it comes to chronic illness, mold removal isn’t really an option, it’s mandated. We hear it all the time, doctors telling patients that they have to mitigate all mold issues or their immune systems will be inundated with spores to the point it won’t be able to respond to the illness(es) at hand. Additionally, the presence of mold can start a cascading effect that could take a seeming well well person and expose their immune system to enough mold spore duress that any lurking illness that was being kept at bay can now take advantage of a weakened immune status and create a chronic condition by it’s mere presence.
The CDC’s Perspective on Mold Testing and Removal
“Generally, it is not necessary to identify the species of mold growing in a residence, and CDC does not recommend routine sampling for molds. Current evidence indicates that allergies are the type of diseases most often associated with molds. Since the susceptibility of individuals can vary greatly either because of the amount or type of mold, sampling and culturing are not reliable in determining your health risk. If you are susceptible to mold and mold is seen or smelled, there is a potential health risk; therefore, no matter what type of mold is present, you should arrange for its removal. Furthermore, reliable sampling for mold can be expensive, and standards for judging what is and what is not an acceptable or tolerable quantity of mold have not been established.”
The EPA’s Perspective on Mold Testing and Removal
Is sampling for mold needed? In most cases, if visible mold growth is present, sampling is unnecessary. Since no EPA or other federal limits have been set for mold or mold spores, sampling cannot be used to check a building’s compliance with federal mold standards. Surface sampling may be useful to determine if an area has been adequately cleaned or remediated.
