I just moved my mold, and musty wet basement. How long until you start to see my breathing better?
I am a woman 17-year-old who has been living in my little half-finished basement for almost two years. Since I have asthma and over the years my breathing has worsened. Recently we have discovered black mold infested carpet, and assuming that its behind the walls. Now I'm in a regular room and out of the basement. How long until my breathing begins to return to normal, now I'm out of the damp, dark space?
Hey there. If there is mold in the basement, could easily be cast in the rest of the house too. Here's how it works: 1. Hot air rises. In one house, usually stands up and leaves the house the roof and higher levels. The air is always in motion like this through the house, if not, then your house would be without breathable air. 2. When mold grows, releases thousands of spores into the air. These spores float in the air where the air goes, go with it. 3. As the air leaves the top of the house, which pulls air from the basement to fill the void it leaves the house. Part of this air coming from the basement. 4. You breathe the mold, no matter where you are at home. You have _definitely_ mold behind drywall that if I was on the carpet. If it is black mold, it could even be toxic. You really should be someone monitoring the situation, allergies and asthma can be made much worse by prolonged exposure to mold spores. One way to test if this is the case is to check your breathing, how time after leaving the house did not start to feel a little better? The short term, you could get an air purifier, but you really should take the problem looked at not only what may be affected by mold spores, especially if it is black mold.
