Lake Forest Plumbers say, we all understand that mold and mildew are forms of fungus, but what else could they have in common?

First of all, both mold and mildew grow and flourish in damp, humid places-either indoors or out.

Lake Forest Plumbers say, mildew tends to be powdery or downy, and has a flat growth pattern. Powdery mildew is white, then turns yellow, then turns black. Mildew is yellow, then turns brownish.

Health Risks

A majority of Lake Forest Plumbers say, if people and animals are exposed to mold, it can create moderate to severe health issues.

Issues such as:

  • Nasal Issues
  • Coughing
  • Coughing
  • Sore Throat
  • Migraines
  • Itching
  • Rashes
  • Fatigue and more.

Mildew vulnerability can cause similar issues, but perhaps not as many.

Usually, mold symptoms are restricted to coughing, headaches, sore throat, and trouble breathing. Mold has the ability to grow on any organic surface within a home.

If mold growth gets severe enough, it can rot the material it’s growing on and cause significant damage.

Mildew sticks mainly to plants and can sometimes kill them if not properly removed in time.

The Way to Prevent Them

This is another area where mold and mildew are extremely similar. You can help prevent them by keeping your home as dry as possible. This means keeping leaks repaired, ventilating your appliances and following tips to maintain moisture out of the air.

It’s not always a fantastic idea to try and eliminate mold yourself, especially if the area you are working in is perhaps not well-ventilated.

If you are determined to take care of the situation yourself, make sure you wear a facial mask to avoid breathing spores, and rubber gloves to keep your skin safe.

It is really best to have a professional handle your mold situation to be able to avoid any serious health issues.

Experts will understand just how to take care of the mold and mildew, and the best way you can tell the difference between them.

In many cases, it is not so much about removing mold and mildew as it is bringing it into an acceptable amount for humans to be around.
