MOLD CLEANING IN SAN ANTONIO, TX

Air Duct Contamination Removal and Disinfection

​

A major fungi infestation can ruin your home value—and your health! Delaying removal and treatment can mean extensive and costly remediation and repairs. Without proper fungi and bacteria removal, the growth can go dormant until the next bit of moisture revives it.  NEXTGEN offers high-quality growth remediation and removal services. We can help you identify, pinpoint and remove the growth anywhere in your home or office.

Can mold cause health problems?

​

Molds have the potential to cause health problems. Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis).

 

Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma
who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. [EPA MOLD GUIDE]

Mold Removal in San Antonio

 

Signs You Have a Mold Problem at Home

Mold can cause respiratory issues if left untreated. The key is identifying a mold problem early to prevent structural damage and health problems. Below are five signs of mold growth in your home. 

​

1. Visible Mold Growth

Mold can appear as black, green, or white patches or spots and is commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, windows, and areas with water damage. Even a tiny amount of mold should be removed so it doesn't spread mold spores and cause problems throughout your home.

​

2. Earthy or Musty Odors

Mold releases volatile organic compounds that produce a musty or rotting wood smell, depending on where it grows and the type. If a persistent musty smell lingers under carpets or walls, the culprit could be mold. Get a mold inspection so a professional can effectively address the problem.

​

3. Moisture Issues and/or Water Damage

Homeowners should address leaky pipes or roofs and high humidity levels to prevent mold that thrives in damp environments. Look for signs of moisture or hidden water leaks, such as discoloration, water stains, bubbling or peeling paint, dampness, and warped wood. Call NextGen immediately to address the problem and avoid mold-related health issues.

​

4. Allergic Reactions and Other Respiratory Problems

Mold can trigger allergic reactions and worsen respiratory problems. If your symptoms improve outside the home, the problem could be mold. Common symptoms to watch for include sneezing, asthma attacks, itchy or watery eyes, and allergies. 

​

5. Unexplained Health Symptoms

Prolonged mold exposure can affect your overall health. You may experience other health issues such as fatigue, headaches, problems concentrating and dizziness. If multiple household members have similar symptoms, mold that’s affecting your indoor air quality could be the problem. 

 

If you see visible mold or suspect a mold issue, contact the professionals at NextGen for an inspection. Our team can identify the type of mold and safely remove it with our proven mold remediation process. Homeowners must also address water leaks or moisture problems to prevent mold growth in the future.
