Mold in a basement can result in mild symptoms like coughing, runny nose, itchy eyes, fatigue, and dry throat. For those with asthma or a mold allergy, it can aggravate those health issues. It's important to remove mold quickly, but especially if you are living with someone who has a chronic respiratory illness.
Mold can also damage clothes, family heirlooms, wood furnishings, your home's foundation, and be a precursor for pests.
If you have mold in your basement, it's imperative that you remove any excess moisture inside the home and address the primary problem like water seepage or leaky pipes. If not, problems may become reoccurring.
An AprilAire Waterproofing Pro will address your mold in a basement by looking for the root cause. They may suggest installing a vapor barrier, which addresses water seepage by sealing the basement with a plastic or foil sheet. An AprilAire Dehumidifier will complement your vapor barrier by removing any lingering moisture inside your basement.
