How Can I Tell if There’s Mold in My Home?

This question is one of the most frequently asked questions here at Purely Green Environmental.  Because different types of mold are more hazardous than others, it’s imperative to know the answer.  This article covers a few ways that homeowners, or renters, can determine if there is mold in the home

However, for an accurate determination, mold testing in Manchester, NH, and other towns, by a professional company is always the safest, and most precise solution.

 

Eyes Wide Open

One of the easiest ways to determine if you have a mold issue is to look around.  Even if there isn’t evident mold growth, there are other signs to be cautious of.  For example, excess moisture is the beginning of an ugly path if left untreated.  Looking for water leaks, standing water, condensation, or staining on the ceiling is an indication that your home may need professional evaluation.  

Any sort of water indoors can lead to potentially problematic health concerns for both you, your family, and pets.  Immediate attention and resolution should be taken to remove molds and their source promptly.

 

Noses Clear

Another obvious sign that there is mold growth within your residence can be a musty smell.  Although common in basement areas, it’s crucial to remember that every area of the home can be a source of mold growth.  For instance, under the kitchen sink and bathrooms are extremely popular areas for water issues.  

If you smell an earthy or musty odor in your home, assume there is mold growing somewhere.  Inspect areas that are exposed to water and have carpet, lifting floor tiles, and wallpaper.  Often, water can penetrate through a surface area and harbor mold out of sight.
