Mold Remediation Services in Baltimore & Columbia

Signs of Mold Growth at Your Home

Water damage to your property can leave behind moisture, which helps mold grow in your home. Some common signs of mold growth in your home include:

• Health Issues: Mold spores can trigger allergies, which can cause respiratory issues. You may feel sick often, having breathing issues and infections.
• Appearance: As mold spreads, it becomes more visible, appearing as black, greenish patches that are slimy or wet to the touch. You may notice them on your ceilings, floors, and walls.
• Unpleasant Odors: Mold can cause a persistent, musty smell to linger in your home, even though the mold itself is not visible.
• Water Damage: Stains and discoloration on your walls, ceilings, and floors can indicate a moisture problem, which could potentially mean you have mold growth in your home.
• Condensation & Humidity: High humidity and excessive moisture in areas like your bathroom, basements, or HVAC systems can be signs that mold is growing in these areas.

Areas Prone to Mold Growth

Carpets:

When your carpets get exposed to moisture and are not dried properly, it creates a breeding ground for bacteria to grow, leading to mold growth. This is why is it important to address your carpets when they get damaged by water and make sure they are dried thoroughly to prevent further issues like mold and mildew.

HVAC System:

Mold can start growing in your ductwork system when there is moisture buildup from condensation and leaks. Not only that, poor maintenance and high humidity create a damp environment, which can lead to mold growth in your AC units. In your heating units, poor ventilation, leaks, clogged filters, and humidity can cause moisture to accumulate and lead to mold growth.

Home Structures:

Storms, floods, or leaks in your home, can affect areas like your ceilings, floors, and walls. When exposed to moisture, mold starts to grow and weaken building structures over time. This is why if you suspect any leaks at home, you need to call experts, as delaying will cause major structural damage. Getting your home properly checked, especially after a storm or flood, saves you a lot of headaches in the long run, as professionals can handle any storm damage and potential mold growth.
