Most homeowners know that mold in their house is a serious situation. Depending on the type of mold that grows, and how much of it there is, significant health consequences can come into play. So, how do you know if you have mold in your home? Aside from seeing it with your own eyes, there are some signs you can watch for that may indicate mold is hiding just out of sight.

Thanks to our extensive experience with mold inspection in Greensboro, AdvantaClean of the Piedmont is the right team to bring in when mold may be an issue. Simply give us a call and we will be happy to assist.

The Telltale Smell

Perhaps the most obvious sign that mold is present in your home is the smell that comes along with it. People commonly describe the smell as “musty”, and you probably can imagine that smell right now even if you aren’t inside your house. If you’ve recently noticed that a new smell is present in your house – and it’s not a pleasant one – you may want to consider that mold could be the underlying cause.

We’d like to emphasize the importance of taking care of this issue right away if you do begin to smell mold. It’s unlikely that the problem will go away on its own, and it could easily get worse as time passes. To minimize the damage to both your health and your home, call in a professional mold remediation team to address the mold growth immediately.

Look at Your Walls

It’s not uncommon for the paint on interior walls to bubble up, but you shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that such bubbles are no big deal. In fact, they can be a significant problem, as they might signal that water has made its way behind the paint. And, of course, where there is water inside of a home, there could be mold growing nearby.

When you spot bubbles on the walls, don’t start tapping into them yourself to see what’s going on. That could create a dangerous situation for you and your family. Instead, call AdvantaClean right from the start to have our experienced team address the matter.

Floors Feel Wrong

If your home has endured some kind of flooding event, your floors may be susceptible to mold growth in the aftermath. That flooding event could have been the result of a broken pipe, or it could have been Mother Nature bringing a major flood to your area. Whatever the case, paying attention to your floors is important to make sure mold isn’t developing beneath your feet.

A telltale sign would be a softer feeling when you walk across the floor in parts of your home that were affected by water. If there is a lot of give under your feet – as though the floors are squishy – you may have water still underneath the flooring. That water can lead to significant mold growth, and the condition of the floor may only continue to get worse. As with any other sign of mold, the best decision you can make is to get professional help as soon as possible to inspect the situation and take remedial action.
