007: The Hidden Dangers of Mold Growth in Your Home with Brandon Faust
“If you want the simplest version of how to keep your home free and clear of mold, keep it clean and dry.” —Brandon Faust
Molds are fascinating organisms that play an important role in our world. Found nearly everywhere, molds work to break down organic material in environments, helping recycle nutrients. However, certain molds can also pose health risks to humans if given the right conditions to grow. While many molds are harmless, others have been shown to produce toxic substances called mycotoxins that can potentially cause illness in people, especially those with compromised immune systems.
This episode provides valuable information on mold awareness, prevention, and remediation. Brandon Faust, a mold remediation expert, shares his personal journey of discovering the health impacts of mold after his family experienced unexplained illnesses. He discusses the various types of molds and how they can pose risks, especially for sensitive individuals.
Listen in as Ann and Brandon discuss the challenges with mold contamination, how improper remediation can exacerbate health problems, the importance of thoroughly removing contaminated materials and sanitizing affected areas, mold prevention strategies for humid climates, the ideal humidity level for mold prevention, and the need for comprehensive testing and professional solutions to ensure indoor air quality and safety.
