When excess moisture from the elements or unexpected flooding occurs, the wood in your home absorbs moisture and becomes vulnerable. When the wood absorbs too much moisture, mold and fungus can grow and proliferate. Mold has joined radon, asbestos and other hazardous material at the top of the health industry's list of home-related illnesses. Not only does it produce unsightly stains on household fabrics, damage your belongings, and create a musty, earthy odor in your home, it can also have a serious adverse affect on the health and well-being of your family. There are over 270 different species of mold living in homes, but it can take ten or more years for signs of mold to develop, so you may not notice any problems in a home you recently purchased.
Unfortunately, mold is not an issue that is easily washed away, as visible surface growths are often indications of a deeper, more ingrained dampness and rot. The long-term effects of mold and fungus on your health range from allergies and infections, to respiratory problems and in severe cases, death. Mold is also one of the most costly consequences of water damage. Huge repairs and maintenance expenditures can be incurred as moldy components must be removed as discarded. Insurance companies have clarified their policy-wording concerning mold-related damages so as to absolve them of payment duties or have introduced mold exclusions to their policies altogether, which may leave you and your family vulnerable to this hidden enemy.
Termites: Work 24/7 to destroy your home Termites can cause major structural damage to buildings and homes as they eat their way through wood fibers. They can go undetected for years, consuming the wood in your home without notice until the structure is severely damaged. The cost of termite damage is mind boggling as termites cause more than $1 billion in damage in U.S. homes each year. According to Pest Control Services, termites cause more damage than tornados, hail storms, windstorms and hurricanes combined. The termites can infest almost every part of your home, including your backyard. They are like your worst houseguests: they arrive univited, overstay their welcome and they never, ever stop eating.  Getting rid of termites can be expensive. They depreciate the value of your home and threaten the health of your family and neighbors. The best defense against termites is turn away these univited guests with Bluwoodsouth's Perfect Barrier System. It is guaranteed to protect your home against mold, rot fungi and wood ingesting insects, including termites.
