Could mold in your home be affecting your family's health?
Mold grows in damp places and can cause allergy symptoms, coughing, and other respiratory problems. People with asthma or mold allergies may be especially sensitive. The best way to prevent mold is to control moisture. Check for water leaks, keep bathrooms and basements dry, and clean up water damage promptly.
