Mold/Home Owners

Toxic mold can invade homes, commercial buildings, or schools and cause several serious health problems. There are various types of toxic mold, but the mold that has recently gained attention is stachybotrys atra, also known as black mold. Black mold has been connected to numerous health conditions, including asthma, sinus infections, and brain damage.

Molds are simple, microscopic organisms found practically everywhere, including plants, foods, dry leaves, and other organic material. Mold spores are very tiny and lightweight, allowing them to pass through the air and into our lungs. People can also be exposed to mold through skin contact and eating.

When airborne mold spores are inhaled, they can cause serious health problems, including asthma, allergic reactions, infections, wheezing, difficulty breathing, nasal and sinus congestion, blurry vision, light sensitivity, red, watery eyes, dry cough, sore throat, nose and throat irritation, shortness of breath, skin irritation, constant headaches, aches and pains, and fever.

Toxic mold can invade your home whenever there is moisture available to allow the mold to thrive and grow. Here are various sources of indoor moisture that can cause toxic mold problems:
· Flooding
· Leaky roofs
· Humidifiers
· Mud or ice dams
· Damp basement or crawl spaces
· Constant plumbing leaks
· Backed-up sewers
· Steam from cooking
· Shower/bath steam and leaks
· Wet clothes on indoor drying lines
· Clothes dryers vented indoors
· Combustion appliances not exhausted to the outdoors

If you can see mold in your home, or if you smell a musty, earthy odor, you might have toxic mold problem. Look for previous water damage and visible mold growth underneath flooring or carpets, in showers, sinks and air ducts, and behind walls. If you or your family has become ill from toxic mold exposure, you may be entitled to compensation. Possible defendants in a toxic mold case include your insurance company, property owner or manager, or anyone else connected to the mold growth.
