Mold & Fungus
Molds and fungi can cause a variety of health problems, including nose, throat and eye irritations, wheezing, sneezing and coughing, and even hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Almost everyone can be affected but some people are particularly susceptible; asthmatics, individuals with compromised immune systems (e.g. chemotherapy patients, infants and people diagnosed with AIDS), along with workers in industries such as farming, asbestos abatement and demolition.
A simple water leak can often be the catalyst for the development of mold and fungus. If not eradicated, they will continue to grow, making the air ever more toxic. That’s why it’s important to eliminate them as soon as their presence becomes apparent.

Moisture levels in the building envelope can cause biological, chemical, or structural damage to construction materials in houses. The type of damage depends on the temperature, moisture levels, time of exposure and mechanical loading and also the types of building materials. In wood-frame construction, wood products may be damaged by biological activity.
Damage due to biological action is one mechanism that affects wood durability. A wide range of organisms, including fungi, termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles and marine borers, can live in and consume wood depending on the materials, the location and the micro-environment.
