While not directly toxic on their own as many believe, they produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins. Its victims often experience regular sinus infections, fatigue, depression, trouble breathing, various allergic reactions, and asthma attacks. Their favorite hiding places are air conditioning ducts and drips from leaky pipes, but only an inspector could tell you with certainty where the black mold in your home resides.[/cs_text][x_gap size=”20px” class=”x-hide-xl x-hide-lg x-hide-md “][/cs_column][cs_column style=”padding: 0px; ” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″][x_image type=”rounded” src=”https://summittosound.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Black_Mold_Everett_Washington.jpg” alt=”Black Mold in South Seattle House Wall” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=”” class=”man”][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section style=”margin: 0px; padding: 45px 0px; “][cs_row style=”margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; ” inner_container=”true”][cs_column style=”padding: 0px; ” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″][x_prompt type=”left” title=”Schedule Mold Inspection” message=”It’s quick and easy to schedule your home inspection!
