Is There Mold In My Basement?

There are a few signs that you can look for to determine if you have a mold problem in your home:

  1. Visible Growth of Mold: Mold often appears as a black, brown, or greenish-colored growth on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces.
  2. Musty Odor: Mold has a distinctive musty smell that may be noticeable in the affected areas. When walking into a room with a unique odor, it may indicate you have mold in your home. 
  3. Water Damage: Mold often grows in areas exposed to water damage, such as after a flood or a leaky pipe. It only takes 24-48 hours for mold to grow in the right conditions. 
  4. Health Symptoms: If you experience symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or skin irritation after spending time in a particular room or area of your home, this may be a sign of mold. Contact a local doctor immediately.

Attic Mold Remediation

 

Many people would not expect attics as an environment where mold would grow. Attics are not accessed as often as other areas of your home or business; few people will actually see it – and, therefore, will be tempted to leave it alone. DON’T! Mold does not stay confined to one area and will spread to other areas of your home. It often causes a musty odor and various health problems.

Mold in the attic will often appear as greenish-black streaks or clusters of dots. However, there are many different types of mold, so if the mold in your attic looks different, you should take action! Nearly all types of mold can cause health problems, so if you spot mold in your attic, you must take action!

The mold removal process involves treating infected surfaces with specialized products. Porous items like insulation usually need to be disposed of and replaced. Wooden studs and other similar materials must also be thoroughly treated to remove all traces of mold. If not effectively addressed, mold will continue to grow and spread!
