KNOW THE SYMPTOMS
Don't Ignore These Mold Indicators in Mineola
A small mold issue can quickly become a major problem if ignored. We encourage our neighbors in Mineola to be vigilant and aware of these common warning signs. Acting on them quickly can protect your health and save you from more extensive damage.
List of Common Signs:
A Distinct Mildew-Like Odor: If you can smell mold or mildew, it means you are inhaling its spores. This is a clear sign that a colony is active and needs to be addressed.
Staining and Discoloration: Dark, streaky stains on walls, or yellowish stains on ceilings, are often a direct result of a water leak that has led to mold growth.
Bubbling or Flaking Paint and Wallpaper: When moisture gets behind paint or wallpaper, it causes it to separate from the wall. This is a tell-tale sign of a hidden moisture and mold issue.
Health Complaints Limited to Your Home: If you or your family feel sick, tired, or congested at home but feel better elsewhere, it’s a strong sign of an indoor air quality problem like mold.
Evidence of Water around HVAC Units: Any condensation or leaks around your HVAC system can introduce mold into your air ducts, which can then spread it throughout your entire Mineola home.
