Signs It’s Time for a Mold Removal Renovation

Although there are many obvious signs of mold
in your home, there are often times where you have a mold infestation that is
not visible. Mold can be very unhealthy and can affect your life even if it is
not visible. It is important to be aware of the different signs that might mean
you need a mold removal renovation, so you can get rid of the mold and get on
with a healthier life.

1. Musty odor

This might be the first sign of a mold infestation that you
are aware of, a moldy or musty odor. Some molds are quite smelly when they are
growing, while others do not smell at all. Smelling a simple odor is not a
confirmation of mold, but it might be a sign that you should contact someone
for a mold removal renovation.

2. You have an area that is prone to water intrusion

If you have an area that often has water
leaking into it, or you had one large event of water intrusion then you may
want to have a mold specialist come in. Although water does not automatically
mean you will have mold, it does help to grow mold spores. Since these mold
spores are so small, a water event can be the trigger that causes mold to be
finally be seen.

3. Health symptoms

If you or someone in your family is
experiencing symptoms such as congestion, allergies, headaches, random fatigue,
or respiratory problems, then you may have a mold infestation. Especially if
these symptoms arise in the morning after a night of sleep, you may be
experiencing signs of unhealthy air quality. These symptoms should be obvious
and for a long period of time.

One good way to be aware if it is within your
residence is to ask a few questions:

• Have these symptoms begun after moving into a new
  residence?
• Did you leave for a vacation and your symptoms
  disappeared?
• Do you only experience these symptoms at a certain
  time of the day?

4. Discoloration

When mold grows, it consumes whatever the
material it appears to be growing on. This will also change the color of that
material as well whether it is your food or your basement wall. If you view a
color change in any area of your house such as black, gray, white, brown, red
or even pastel colors, you should take note. Some molds might look like dust,
while others can appear to be a fuzz or have a sand texture. If you are viewing
a discolored substance on your walls, floors, or other areas, then you may need
to bring in a mold professional.
