If your home has suffered water damage recently, the chance that you will soon start to experience mold growth is pretty high.

This is because mold thrives on surfaces with water, access to organic matter, and oxygen. All these are abundant in homes suffering from water damage.

If you are not sure whether you need mold remediation, listed below are signs that you need to hire mold remediation like Water Mold Fire Restoration of Miami immediately.

Signs You May Need Mold Remediation

Mold grows in the humid and wet areas of the home, so you must check these areas for mold growth.

Early detection of mold is crucial for the sake of your health and that of your family.

While mold identification may be a bit difficult, you should contact a mold remediation company once you notice any of these signs:

Discolored Spots

Discolored spots on surfaces are one of the crucial things to take note of when checking for molds. Once you observe these spots, it is an indication that the home has mold problems.

Molds are known to survive on organic matter, and if left unchecked, they can lead to discoloration. These discolored spots appear on bathroom walls and basements.

When checking for mold, most people are only on the lookout for black coloration. However, mold spores don’t come in black color only.

Some molds are white in color and thread-like in nature. Others can have pink coloration, grey, green, brown, and so on.

In case you notice any of these discolorations on the walls of your basement, it may be a sign of mold infestation.

The next thing to do is to contact a mold remediation professional to handle the situation.

Allergic Reactions

People that are immunocompromised or have sensitive immune systems are often allergic to molds.

These allergic reactions involve coughing, sneezing, running nose, and irritated eyes. It can lead to the development of parched or scale-like skin.

Your home could be infested with molds if a member of your household displays these reactions.

To further confirm this sign, you should observe if these reactions persist whenever you are away from home.

If such is the case, you should call a mold remediation company to inspect your home.

Moldy Odour

Moldy odor is not a characteristic of all mold. However, some mold types exhibit musty or mildew-like odors.

You must address such odors, especially if you have been away for a while. On getting back, if you notice a strange or musty odor, it could be a sign of a mold problem.

Although you may not see the mold, taking note of the mold smell is a way to identify mold infestation.

Musty odors of molds are more pronounced in curtain backs, carpet underneath, carpet cushions, ceilings, and insulated walls.

That being said, employing the services of a mold remediation company might just be a way to locate molds that may seem obscure in your home.

Water Damage

The presence of moisture provides a perfect breeding condition for molds. Usually, water damage events are the most common cause of mold growth in homes.

In case of a flood, you should start seeing signs of mold growth within 72 hours. When materials like carpets, rugs, and upholstery get soaked with water, they take longer to dry. This gives more room for mold spores to settle and thrive.

Unlike flooding and other natural disaster-related water damage, minor household water damage, such as leaking pipes, may not be easy to detect- especially those protected by extra layers or those within the walls.

This type of water damage can lead to severe mold infestation. To remediate such damage, you may need to contact a mold remediation company.

Condensation

Condensation occurs when warm air and moisture mix up and settle on a cold surface.

This meeting causes the cooling of the cold surface, resulting in droplets of water. Frequent occurrence of condensation on cold surfaces aids the growth of mold.

Air ducts are common condensation grounds, particularly when the temperature outside the home is colder than the one on the inside.

To control the frequent occurrence of condensation, you need to regulate the temperature of your home.

You can achieve that by installing humidifiers in moist and humid areas of your home, like bathrooms.

Mold remediation is essential to slow down a mold infestation and to kill mold spores. So once you notice any of the signs mentioned above, do not hesitate to reach out to a mold remediation company for help.
