      How Mold Affects Your Home

      Mold is everywhere, outdoors and inside your home. Tiny microscopic spores make up mold, and when it's outside, it's unnoticeable. It makes its way into clothing, shoes, and pets. The spores can land anywhere and quickly spread.

      When excess mold is in the home, the air quality becomes low, and the home's integrity may become impacted.

      How Mold Affects Your Health

      Some people are more sensitive to mold than others. Those individuals may experience severe allergy or cold-like symptoms when exposed to mold. For others, too much mold in the home can cause migraines and allergy-like symptoms.

      In severe home mold infestations, individuals may experience serious health problems related to breathing. Asthma attacks, upper respiratory infections, and other health concerns arise. Those who already have compromised immune systems may experience these symptoms more severely.

      Mold Inspection Costs

      A mold inspection costs approximately the same as a regular home inspection. The average cost for a mold inspection for a small to medium-sized house is $300 to $400. For houses larger than 4,000 square feet, the price increases to the $700 to $900 range. 

      Testing is not covered in these costs. In NYS, it is required to have the mold assessor and mold remediator be different companies. So if you see or smell mold, just call Rock Emergency for quick and effective mold remediation services!
