Macon, Georgia disaster repair services companies often come in contact with mold and mildew, but the average homeowner doesn’t always know very much about these unwelcome home visitors. In fact, the first experience that many people have with mold and mildew is when they learn that their home has water damage which has caused these things to develop.

Mold: More Common Than You Know

Mold has become much more common than it was only around 50 years in the past. Mold has become so common that around half of all homes in the United States today have some degree of mold infestation, even though the homeowners are often not aware that it’s there.

Mold Can Make You Sick

Many people who suffer from sinus infections tend to assume that something outside is causing the problem, but in fact the mold growing indoors is often the culprit. Most people who suffer from chronic sinus issues should have their home checked for mold growth, especially if the doctor can’t find any other clear reason for the issues.

There are more than 10,000 different kinds of mold, and the mold types all tend to be extremely adaptable. Mold can grow practically anywhere.
