Are your Allergies in full force? It may be a result of your Christmas Tree

12/7/2017 (Permalink)

Who would have thought that bringing in a real Christmas tree, enjoying the smell, the lights, and décor would cause an increase in your allergies. If you are suffering from the sniffles your REAL Christmas tree could be the cause. Here are the reasons why:

• Even though it’s not visibly decaying, it is.
• Christmas trees are coniferous softwoods and have a high moisture content.
• Mold loves moisture.
• The tree may take 6 years to grow before it’s cut.
• In that period it can collect all sorts of mold, dust pollens and allergens.

SERVPRO of North Arlington is certified through the State of Texas to perform Mold remediation services. Though it is highly unlikely that your homes structure be affected with mold spores due to your real Christmas tree a previous water damage or a constant leak could cause potential damage. If you are in need of mold remediation services we would be more than happy to assist you.
