Montrose, MI, August 18, 2015 -- "Dangerous, health-damaging toxic mold infestation often grows unseen inside walls, ceilings, floors, attics, basements, crawl spaces, and heating/cooling equipment and air ducts in metro Chicago residences, places of employment, and other business buildings," warns Phillip Fry, Certified Environmental Hygienist, Professional Industrial Hygienist, and webmaster since 1999 of the mold education website www.moldinspector.com.

"Don't buy a home or commercial building without hiring expert mold inspection and testing by a certified environmental hygienist or mold inspector to avoid buying a mold-contaminated property," adds Mr. Fry, who is also a Certified Mold Inspector, Certified Environmental Inspector, Certified Mold Remediator, Certified Remediation Specialist, and Certified Duct Cleaning Specialist.

"Poor maintenance that allows water leak intrusion into a building's walls, ceilings, and floors is the biggest driver of indoor mold growth in Chicago, Arlington Heights, Berwyn, Bolingbrook, Cicero, Des Plaines, Evanston, Glenview, Hoffman Estates, Mount Prospect, Oak Lawn, Oak Park, Orland Park, Palatine, Schaumburg, Skokie, Tinley Park, Waukegan, Wheaton, and northern Illinois," advises Mr. Fry, who is author of five mold books.

The top dozen mold health problems, according to the U.S. Government's General Accounting Office “Indoor Mold” report , which summarized 32 federal government mold studies and reports, are:

1. Asthma, asthma triggers, or asthma symptoms (such as episodes or attacks)
2. Upper respiratory tract symptoms
3. Eye symptoms
4. Skin symptoms
5. Allergies or allergic reactions
6. Wheeze
7. Cough
8. Difficulty breathing, trouble breathing, or shortness of breath
9. Infections (including those affecting people who have chronic lung disease).
10. Adverse effects to the nervous system
11. Fungal colonization or opportunistic infections in immune-compromised individuals and
12. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
