It is not uncommon for homes and other buildings to develop mold and mold spores, particularly when there are damp conditions regularly on the premises. There are over 1 million different types of mold, and the majority of them do not place people at risk when they are exposed. Some types of mold, such as Stachybotrys, otherwise known as ‘black mold,’ are extremely toxic and can cause people to develop severe health problems.

Toxic mold is not always visible, as it often grows in walls and places that are not frequently visited, such as basements. For this reason, it is important that everyone understands the most common symptoms of exposure. These are as follows:

• Cold and flu-like symptoms
• Bloody noses
• Headaches
• Allergies
• Skin irritation and rashes
• Asthma
• Pneumonia
• Joint and chest pain
• Liver disorders
• Lung damage

If you or a loved one has suffered any of the above symptoms, it is important to test your home for toxic mold. If the results show the presence of mold, you should then seek medical attention and speak to an Alhambra toxic mold attorney.

If you own a home and toxic mold develops within it, the first step is reviewing your homeowners' insurance policy to determine if mold is listed under covered perils. If it is, your insurance provider is responsible for providing coverage to correct the issue. If a mold infestation has developed over time, your insurance will likely not cover it.

Even if mold is not listed as a covered peril, there may still be others who are liable for paying damages for any harm you have suffered. These are as follows:

• Contractors and builders who used improper materials, failed to construct the building properly, or improperly installed ventilation
• Architects and engineers who improperly designed the home, such as failing to install ventilation
• Companies that supplied construction materials, such as siding or drywall, that contained mold
• Previous owners who failed to warn of a mold issue
• Condominium and homeowners associations that failed to correct problems in common areas, such as leaking pipes
