“At the Lake of the Ozarks and mid‑Missouri, you are going to have mold at some point,” Lake Regional Restoration owner Mark VanRonzelen said. “It just depends on whether it’s active or dormant.”
Mold can cause growth or wall discoloration, which in return will damage not just your wall but your structure as well. When the mold becomes active it can cause a host of different health complications that make this inevitable growth in Lake homes extremely dangerous.

Coughing, fatigue, and congestion are just a few symptoms from mold exposure. For those with autoimmune deficiencies or respiratory disorders, mold exposure can create extreme dangers to your health.
“On a recent warehouse job, where there was previous water damage, which in return created a breeding ground for stachybotrys chartarum (more commonly known as black mold) the floor manager had become inundated with health issues.” VanRonzelen shared. “Turns out his oxygen levels were extremely low, extreme fatigue, skin rashes, and sinusitis which wasn’t present before the water damage. He came to find out he had so many mycotoxins in his blood stream from over exposure to black mold.”
Poor airflow or condensation on windows easily leads to a mold issue. And removing the visible mold or covering it with paint won’t prevent more from coming back, until the root cause of the moisture is corrected.
“If you see or smell something, address it. Don’t put it off,” VanRonzelen warned. “Realtors at the Lake have frequent issues with mold because inspectors find it, and buyers won’t move forward until it’s taken care of.”
