KNOW THE SYMPTOMS
A Checklist for Hidden Mold in Chapel Hill Homes
Use this simple checklist to assess if your Chapel Hill home might be at risk for a hidden mold problem. If you answer “yes” to one or more of these points, a professional inspection is the best next step to ensure your home is safe.
List of Common Signs:
- Does your home have a persistent musty odor? A damp, earthy smell is the most common sign that a mold colony is active and growing somewhere out of sight.
- Are there any unexplained stains on walls or ceilings? Look for any new discoloration, dark spots, or streaky stains, especially in areas near plumbing or windows.
- Is your paint or wallpaper bubbling or peeling? This is a definite sign that moisture is trapped behind the surface, creating a perfect environment for mold to thrive.
- Do you feel healthier when you are away from home? If allergy or breathing issues consistently improve when you leave the house, it points to an indoor air quality issue.
- Has there been a recent water issue? Any recent leak, flood, or even ongoing condensation problems are a major risk factor for developing a hidden mold infestation.
