About Mold in Your Home

Little Spores, Big Problems

Mold is always an unwelcome visitor in any house, and unfortunately, it resides in many homes. In fact, a Harvard study found that over half of the homes in the U.S. had some sort of mold issue. Mold is a serious problem and, as a homeowner, you cannot afford to ignore it. But Porters gives you reason to be hopeful–with our state-of-the-art mold remediation technology, we can not only completely remove current mold problems but can also ensure that they don’t come back.

Harmful Effects of Mold

Not only can mold break down building materials and ruin your home, but it can also be detrimental to you and your family’s health. Mold is divided into three categories, according to how they affect humans: allergenic, pathogenic, and toxigenic. Allergenic molds typically only cause responses in people with allergies and asthma, but pathogenic and toxigenic molds will affect anyone, and they can cause serious illness, infections, and even cancer (in the case of toxigenic molds).
