Steps to Know if You Have Dangerous Mold in Your Home or Office
To determine whether you have dangerous mold growing in your home or office, look for these signs, per the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA):
- Mold Smell
The sniff test is one of the simplest and most effective methods to identify mold. Mold has an unmistakable odor. Outdoor mold often smells stale, but mildew inside your home or office smells musty and damp. If you have sniffed out some mold, get it removed ASAP.
- Visible Growth
When you see mold on your property, that may be just a tiny part of the infestation. The mold you can’t see is often the scariest and most damaging.
- Water Leaks
Current or previous leaks are often indicators that mold is present. These often produce moisture in overlooked places, whether it is a leaky pipe or a leak in the roof.
- Water Intrusion
Water intrusion can take on many forms. Whether a sewer line is backed up, pipe breaks or flooding occurs from an outside building, each problem can lead to mold if not cleaned carefully and thoroughly. Often these problems cannot be spotted immediately, which leads to mold growth.
- Past Flooding
If your house has been flooded, there’s a good chance you will have a mold problem. After a flood, you can best contact a mold remediation company or water damage specialist who performs clean-up of flooded homes.
- Health Symptoms
Black mold contains mycotoxins that cause human health hazards, including severe respiratory ailments. Symptoms of possible mold exposure include:
- Respiratory problems
- Skin inflammation
- Hemorrhage
- Irritation of the mucous membranes
- Damage to internal organs
- Mental impairment
- Tiredness
- Nausea
- Immune system suppression
