		<description>Good Advice Jennifer,

Take the time to learn al little about mold before calling an inspector or attempting to remediate the situation.

Here is the link to the US EPA resource on mold as well, http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldresources.html

&lt;b&gt;Mold can affect us in three ways&lt;/b&gt;
The effects of mold on humans depend on their physical receptivity to it. 

Allergenic: In certain people,&lt;a href="http://www.inquiring-eye.com/resources/mold.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;contact with mold&lt;/a&gt;, either by breathing it, eating it or touching it, can cause an allergic reaction.  Reactions include red eyes, runny nose, skin rash, hay-fever type symptoms, coughs and fevers.  This may happen whether the mold is dead or alive.  Dry mold may cause as many reactions as active mold. 

Pathogenic: &lt;a href="http://www.inquiring-eye.com/resources/mold.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;This type of mold is very harmful&lt;/a&gt;. It is defined as an agent that can cause disease and perhaps kill.  It can invade human tissues.  Pathogenic mold thrives in persons with suppressed immune systems or those taking chemotherapy.


Aspergillus Toxic: This type of mold can produce fatal results, as well.  While &lt;a href="http://www.inquiring-eye.com/resources/mold.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;certain types of molds are toxigenic,&lt;/a&gt; that is, they can produce toxins--mycotoxins, they, are not toxic, or poisonous, themselves. Like pathogenic mold, its toxicity depends more on the individual’s immune system. 

It is important to have your home inspected for mold and other unhealthy contaminants. Contact &lt;a href="http://www.inquiring-eye.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Inquiring Eye Home Inspections&lt;/a&gt; today; &lt;a href="http://www.inquiring-eye.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;

		<description>It can be a killer mold.  The picture looks like those Hurricane Katrina homes after they sat for weeks in water.  We had a toilet flood 3 rooms of a house and had to have a professional service come and dry out walls and pull up carpet.  Thank goodness for insurance they covered but was thousands of dollars.  One thing for sure we would have had mold if we didn't have them to dry out walls and measure them daily.</description>
