It’s a black splotch. If has a fuzzy appearance. It’s growing on your walls, or your carpets, or around your window frames. You might see spots of it on your ceiling tiles, on water pipes, or burrowing into your insulation. It travels down your trims and along your window frames. It might be coating the sides of cabinets, or oozing out from beneath your refrigerator. It could even be in your refrigerator – and that means it’s in your food. You might have noticed it ringing your faucets or hiding beneath your toilet cover. More than likely, what you’re seeing is the hated, ubiquitous, noxious fungus called black mold. In Chicago, it’s everywhere and gaining ground. In Chicago, black mold remediation is the only way you’re going to stop it, and you had better stop it now.
Not all molds are dangerous to humans and their pets, but some molds are. There is now more than abundant reports that many common molds cause disease, but if you’ve inadvertently eaten bread with mold on it, you know it turns the stomach – you don’t need a study to tell you that molds can make you sick. Some molds can even live in your nose, in your ears, and on your skin. They live by eating organic matter, usually dead plant or animal matter, matter that contains carbon. They secrete a hydrolytic enzyme over the matter, their spit, and that breaks down any starch, lignin, or cellulose in the matter into particles that they can then absorb through their cell walls. That’s the way all molds eat. That’s why when they start making a meal out of your home, or out of you, it’s definitely Chicago black mold remediation time.
In Chicago, black mold remediation has risen to the level of a necessity. We received word out of the Gottlieb Memorial Hospital of Loyola that mold here is at a five year record high! It’s a result of the weather. The weather has created the perfect environment for mold to grow, spread, and thrive throughout our city. Recent flooding has turned our city into a mold’s paradise. Black mold is enjoying this boon with a vengeance, except where HomeServ’s Chicago black mold remediation service is putting them down.
For those molds that cause harm only to dead organic matter, we might not feel any urgent threat, although if you let them establish a beach head, they’re going to eat up your property. With molds like black mold, the threat is more serious. The threat is to our health and our life. Some molds, and black mold is one of these, secrete a substance that inhibits the life and growth of microorganisms. Substances of this kind are call mycotoxins. A microorganism is a living cell. Mycotoxins, combined with the mold’s spit, the hydrolytic enzymes it secretes, can damage and kill living cells. Our bodies are made of living cells. It only follows that black mold can damage our cells. There are many medical reports now available showing that black mold has caused both disease and death in animals and in man. With the rise of black mold in Chicago, black mold remediation may be considered a disease prevention method and a life-saver.
