It’s one thing to have a mold problem in your home, but it’s something else entirely when that mold has started to spread rather than keep itself contained to one area. Besides turning to expert mold removal services, you should also educate yourself on mold. Here, we’ll provide you with a quick lesson comprised of three signs that the mold in your home as started to spread.
- Your Allergies Are Worsening
If you have allergies, you might have noticed that they’re worse when you’re inside your home and better when you’re outside. Mold often leads to a number of respiratory issues, such as sneezing, nasal congestion and sore eyes. In addition to treating your allergies, look into a professional mold inspection as well.
- The Smell of Mold Intensifies
Mold has a rather distinct smell. You might catch a whiff of it every now and then and not think very much of it if it’s not very strong. That being said, if that musty, cloying stench seems to be getting stronger with each passing day, it’s time to take action; sooner rather than later.
- You Have Growing Water or Condensation Problems in Your Home
Mold often spreads and grows with water and condensation issues. If you have water leaks, a poorly ventilated laundry room or bathrooms, or rusting pipes, then you probably have moisture problems. What’s more is those issues might start to get out of control over time if they aren’t addressed. Do yourself a favor and have a professional plumber come out to your home, and schedule mold testing as well to take a two-pronged approach to the issue and handle it fully.
