Our team at Dogwood Crawlspaces has extensive experience in dealing with and preventing moisture problems, and one of the most common problems that can arise from excessive moisture in your home is mold growth. If you find evidence of mold in your home, don’t panic, but instead give our team a call to schedule mold removal services as soon as possible. In this article, we will go over a few early warning signs of mold problems so you can enlist our mold removal experts right away.
- Musty Odors – One of the problems with mold is the way it can grow in almost total darkness, which means it usually occurs in areas you don’t look at every day. In most cases, you will likely smell mold before you see it—mold has a distinctive musty odor, and the smell won’t go away as long as the mold remains. If you have noticed a persistent damp smell in any part of your home, we encourage you to give us a call to get our mold removal technicians on the job.
- Mysterious Stains – Another sign you need mold removal services is the appearance of stains on your walls, ceiling, upholstery, or even clothing. Mold spores can become trapped in porous materials such as fabric, and once they set in, they will multiply, creating the spots you see. If you’ve noticed stains appearing around your home for no obvious reason, then it’s likely you have a mold problem.
- Health Problems – A third way to tell if you need mold removal services is to pay attention to your health, and that of the other members of your household. If anyone starts to experience out-of-season allergy attacks, asthma flare-ups, or other symptoms such as respiratory issues, sore throats, or even difficulty concentrating, we encourage you to give us a call to have our experts inspect your property for mold.
