Flames are not the only enemy that should be put out during fire disasters. Long after the final flames have been extinguished, smoke clouds can and will remain if it goes untreated. These will then leave behind chemicals and particles that can destroy both your health and property.
One of the most vital things you can do to be safe from fire and smoke is to prepare ahead and plan for an escape route. Whether you’re at home or in a hotel, it is always best to have a planned fire escape procedure.
Our homes are exposed to lots of risks these days. There are dangers that may be caused by things that we just cannot avoid. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, molds can grow on wet surfaces inside your home.
Many residential homes experience water damage as a result of either a plumbing failure, or an instantaneous flooding. While some water damages may be minor and unnoticeably small, other damages can be catastrophic and perceptibly huge.
Mold is fond of damp, moist and wet spaces. So wherever there’s abundance of humidity and moisture, you can count on mold to thrive in those places. Typically, they appear on ceilings, floors, and walls of homes, and can cause allergic reactions and respiratory illnesses like asthma if left untreated in extended periods of time.
Mold in living spaces has not only caused structural damages to homes, but has caused health problems to many people, too. It grows in unobserved places like drywall, which make mold even more dangerous.
Molds growing indoors are never harmless. Not only do they cause structural damages, but they can also cause health issues such as sinusitis, asthma, and allergies to worsen. Black mold is the most infamous species of mold that thrives best after fungal growth on materials that have been damaged by water.
Moldy carpets are a challenge to clean. Not only does mold eats away the fibers of the carpet, it is also very difficult to dislodge. To make matters worse, having mold in your carpet can cause numerous health problems including throat or eye irritations, stuffy nose, wheezing, and even allergic reactions and lung complications.
Wood easily soak up and retain water, making it prone to mold growth. When wooden furniture has mold, it gives off a musty odor and poses health risks to you and your family. Mold increases your chance of having allergic reactions and developing respiratory conditions such as asthma. So before it even permeates your lumber, trim, or furniture, make sure that you prevent it. Otherwise, you might have to hire a mold removal professional to treat it.
