Untreated water damage will result in mold, a home invader and cause of illness.


You may not be aware of the amount of damage your home and health can experience from untreated water damage and the invasion of mold in your home or on your property. Nor may you be mindful of the danger associated with cleaning up mold. Restoration 1 Towson specializes in cleaning up mold or mildew in your home.


You may be experiencing the symptoms of being exposed to mildew and not even know it. See some of the symptoms listed below to determine if you have possibly been exposed to mold.


Some symptoms of toxic exposure to mold:

2.   runny or itchy nose;

3.   watery, itchy, and red eyes;

4.   coughing;

5.   Asthma/wheezing;

6.   fluid in your lungs that could lead to pneumonia if not treated;

7.   skin rash very similar to Shingles;

8.   blisters (do not pop the blisters as this will not cause them to heal faster and will cause pain);

9.   an unquenchable thirst resulting in the need to urinate more frequentlyt; and

10. digestive tract issues such as vomiting or diarrhea can develop in severe or untreated cases.

 

Some steps to restore your water damage and avoid toxic exposure to mold.

  1. Discuss potential symptoms of toxic exposure to mold with your medical doctor and follow his/her medical advice.
