Victorville Toxic Mold Lawyer

Many homeowners are learning firsthand the dangers of mold developing in their homes. Individuals who live in rental spaces such as apartments are also finding mold growing around windows and in ceilings of floors, windows, and darkened areas of their homes. If you have found mold in your home, you may think the only thing to do is correct the problem. While this may be true, it is also important to determine if someone else is liable for the issue. Below, our Victorville toxic mold lawyer explains more.

What Is Mold?

Specifically, mold is defined as microscopic organisms that digest organic matter to grow. Mold grows by sending spores into the air. Mold is classified as a type of fungus, and while many people typically think of only black mold, there are actually more than 100,000 types of mold in the world. While mold is sometimes found inside homes, there are also many different types of mold found in nature. Dark and damp environments make the perfect environment for mold to grow, particularly if there is water damage to the floor boards, wall structures, or ceiling areas in the home.

Why Is Mold so Dangerous?

Mold is sometimes referred to as toxic for many reasons. Toxic mold can spread throughout an entire property in a relatively short period of time. When it does, serious health complications can arise. These issues become even worse when young children are exposed to toxic mold. Additionally, it can take a long time before it is discovered that the harm has been caused by toxic mold.

The Responsibility of Home Sellers

The presence of toxic mold can have a devastating impact on the property value of a home. Home sellers are required to disclose any presence of toxic mold found anywhere on the premises. After sellers disclose the presence of mold, sellers typically choose not to go through with the purchase, or they want documentation showing the problem has been fully remediated. Even when the issue has been remedied, mold problems are often recurring and result in serious health complications. If you bought a home and a mold problem was not properly disclosed, you may have legal options. Ask a toxic mold attorney in Victorville for more information.

Symptoms of Toxic Mold Exposure

At first, the signs of toxic mold exposure may be quite minor. Over time, they can become worse and even have long-term impacts. The most common symptoms of toxic mold exposure are as follows:

  • Coughing
  • Dizziness
  • Runny eyes
  • Constant headaches
  • Lethargy
  • Rashes
  • Asthma
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Respiratory issues
  • Hemorrhaging and other serious complications
