Everything you Need to Know About Mold

First, let’s try to troubleshoot whether or not you have mold in your home. Chances are, if you suspect there’s mold, there probably is, because mold has a distinct look and smell, but it might not be the case.

What does mold look like?

Mold is not always black, it comes in all sizes and colors from black, orange, blue, white, yellow, or green. They can have different textures, like flat or hairy looking, and they can be find indoors and outdoors. Indoor mold is the most dangerous because the area doesn’t get ventilation and it would take longer to dry, causing mold in the first place.

Black mold is a toxic kind of mold and it can be dangerous to anyone that comes into contact with it. If you moved into a home and suddenly your family is getting sick all the time, it could mean you have black mold in your home and you may need to contact a mold removal specialist to come inspect your home and find the problem areas that are causing your family to have a lower immune system. Of course, consult your Doctor for any changes in your or your family’s health or a vet if your pets are experiencing sudden health problems.

What does mold smell like?

Mold smells musty or like mildew. You might find it similar to the smell in the air right before it rains, or a piece of cloth left damp for a long time. When you walk into a room you might feel the air thicker, damp smelling, and you might start feeling dizzy and cough or sneeze. These don’t always happen. The most common is the mildew smell.

What are key signs of mold?

Mold can be visible or not, can be smelled or not, but if you smell or see spots of mold, call a mold removal specialist immediately. There are also symptoms that you or family members might be experiencing that are a sign of mold present in your home or in their place of work.

A sudden fit of allergies that won’t stop, asthma being triggered often, respiratory and breathing difficulties, coughing and sneezing, sinus infection or pain in the sinuses, kidney or bladder discomfort, fatigue, headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, redness and itching in the eyes, mouth and nose. If your family suddenly start experiencing these symptoms, consult with your primary care physician and call a mold removal specialist if there’s no improvement in the health. If you have these symptoms and see mold present by appearance or smell, call a mold removal specialist right away. If this is in a place of work, let a supervisor know because it is a health concern.

What to do if One Suspects there’s Mold in Their Home?

Stay out of the affected area you suspect there’s mold. If you have little kids, try to isolate the area so they don’t come in contact with it. Turn off the HVAC systems and fans; so that, the contaminated air doesn’t re circulate, contact Integra- Clean & Dry LLC so they can come to inspect your home.

Don’t touch the mold, don’t blow air across the surfaces where you suspect there’s mold or where there’s visible mold. Don’t try to wipe or dry the area yourself and don’t spray bleach or disinfectants on the mold. This step is the most common people will try to do on their own, but it can result in further mold spreading.
