Mold not only affects the structural integrity of your house, it also affects the health and safety of your family. It’s important to take immediate action once you see the following signs and indicators:

1. Leaks and Weakened Structures

If your house has recently been hit by flash floods or if there’s been a major leak in your home that caused various areas to be immersed in water, make sure that you check the affected regions right away and see to it that there’s no growth of mold in the areas. If there’s mold present, act on the matter quickly because this could cause the affected areas to be even weaker and less stable in terms of structure.

2. You’re Smelling Weird Odors

No it’s not just your imagination. If you’re starting to smell earthy or even metallic odors in certain areas of your home, there’s a high chance that there’s mold growth in that area, and you need to act on it right away.

3. You’re Seeing Black Spots

Ever wonder what those clusters of black spots are? You might dismiss them as dust, but if you notice that the clusters increase and spread each day, then that means what you’re seeing is none other than mold.

4. High Condensation Due to Water Damage

Did any of your pipes leak or break recently? Did it cause some parts of the house to be exposed to water? Then this is a strong indicator that mold could be present in those exposed areas. Make sure you inspect your sink pipes, windows, and other parts of the house that are likely to have mold because of increased condensation after those regions have been exposed to water.

5. Your Health

Your body doesn’t lie. If one morning you wake up to severe morning allergies or if you notice your asthma symptoms are starting to worsen, don’t disregard your observations and make sure to conduct further inspection in your home.
