KNOW THE SYMPTOMS
Is Mold Hiding in Your Whitehouse Home?
The most effective way to protect your Whitehouse home from extensive mold damage is early detection. Mold often hides behind walls or in crawl spaces. Pay close attention to these warning signs that suggest a problem may be developing out of sight.
List of Common Signs:
- An Unmistakable Damp Smell: A musty, mildew-like odor that you can’t seem to locate is the most common indicator of an active mold colony somewhere in your home.
- Appearance of Stains or Growth: Any visible fuzzy or slimy patches, no matter the color, are a sure sign you need professional help. Dark discoloration is also a key indicator.
- Changes in Wall or Ceiling Texture: If you notice that your drywall is warping, feeling soft, or that paint is starting to flake, it is a clear sign of a moisture issue that feeds mold.
- Worsening Allergy or Asthma Symptoms: A spike in asthma attacks or allergy symptoms that lessens when you are away from home points to a potential indoor air quality problem caused by mold.
- Recent Water-Related Events: If your Whitehouse home has had any recent water intrusion, from a small leak under a sink to a major storm, the conditions are ripe for mold growth.
