The Dangers of Mold
Project Manager and Consultant in Birmingham, AL
Mold is dangerous. It can be more prevalent and can cause more health problems than termites, carbon monoxide, asbestos, or radon. In fact, mold is everywhere and impossible to get rid of in nature. According to the EPA website, "There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture." From one third to one half of all buildings in the United States have the damp conditions necessary to facilitate the growth of mold, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Water Damaged furniture that is not properly dried and cared for can develop mold very quickly in crevices. No matter how much you may love that couch or chair, if it isn't immediately cared for and mold starts developing, it will need to be thrown out.
