How To Spot a Mold Infestation 

Homeowner dreads to hear that their property is a petri dish for mold growth. While mold is common in the wild and plays an important role in every ecosystem, the results can be serious and expensive to fix when it takes root inside of a home. 

Learning to spot mold growth to prevent it early is the best way to prevent mold from becoming a serious issue in any home or business. Mold remediation specialists in Columbus want homeowners to be prepared to find potential problems. By knowing the signs and being aware of the dangers of mold problems, homeowners are more likely to prevent mold from becoming a serious issue around their homes. 

Common Signs of Mold Growthbad smell

Spotting a mold infestation is sometimes obvious, although many times it isn’t. Mold has a habit of growing in dark places that aren’t easily seen. As a result, signs of mold problems can go unnoticed for too long. 

To spot a mold problem, look for these common signs:

  • Sources of moisture like water leaks, condensation, or high humidity 
  • Musty, damp odors
  • Splotchy or fuzzy growth on wood, drywall, or ceiling tiles
  • Splotches get bigger over time
  • Peeling paint or wallpaper
  • Constant respiratory problems

The outward signs like a visible infestation and moisture sources are obvious signs that mold is or will start growing. However, often the signs that usually are the first noticed are the damp smells and respiratory issues. 

Dangers of Mold Unseen Mold Growthmold

As discussed above, one of the more noticeable signs of mold problems is the respiratory problems that go along with it. Common respiratory symptoms that accompany mold problems are: 

  • Sneezing
  • Watery eyes
  • Congestion
  • Persistent cough
  • Worsened allergies
  • Asthma complications

Once mold has begun to grow in unseen places like behind walls, it continues to try and reproduce. Mold reproduces by releasing spores into the surrounding air. Billions of tiny spores get picked up in air currents and pushed around the home. It’s these tiny spores that contribute to mold’s rapid growth and also its respiratory consequences. 

How To Respond to a Mold Problem

Prevention is the best way to handle mold problems. Ensuring moisture isn’t building up inside the home from roof leaks, pipe leaks, or condensation problems will prevent mold from growing in walls and crawl spaces. Ensuring that AC systems are keeping humidity levels between 40 and 60% will also help. 

If it’s too late to prevent mold, calling a mold remediation specialist is the best option. Mold remediation professionals can easily spot the things that are causing mold to grow inside the home. They can stop the sources of mold growth as well as deal with existing infestations. 

Mold remediation can be a fairly involved process because the job has to be done completely. That’s why working with a professional company will ensure that the sources of mold growth are removed, and the proper removal processes were carried out to ensure that mold won’t continue to grow after they are gone. Mold remediation specialists can use various techniques to ensure that mold is removed, including chemical treatments, rehabilitating damaged structures, and dehumidification processes.
