Where is mold usually found?

Mold does not look like a substance that you’d want to have in your home, and it is not. We’ve all seen the green, furry kind of mold that appears on lovely pieces of cheddar that have been forgotten in the refrigerator. Or that appears on an orange that was left in the crisper too long.

Mold that might lie beneath a carpet or seep into a ceiling tile is likely to appear as a darkened patch, at least in the early stages of its growth.

Mold is most likely to take hold in a space that is damp and somewhat wet. A space like a neglected cupboard under a bathroom sink, or within a wall where a pipe has leaked. Or a carpet that you’ve installed in a basement room is hiding a mold problem.

As ventilation is related to the growth of mold, tight spaces like attics or carefully sealed storage closets may encourage mold growth as well.

Mold Inspection & Testing White Plains

Where are some signs of a mold problem?

• Mold may be make itself known in a home or other building. It may seep out from a bathroom ceiling, darken the corners of ceiling tiles, or cover the floor under carpets with an unhealthy and extensive growth. If you can see mold, you know that you may have a mold problem.
• If your home smells in ways that you’d rather it didn’t, you may have a mold problem. Some people say that mold smells like rotting compost. Others say that it is more like a hamper of socks that should have been laundered, well, a while ago.
• You may see or smell no mold but experience the symptoms that some people suffer when exposed to it. These can include frequent and unexplained headaches, irritated eyes, noses, or throats and even difficulty breathing. Exposure to specific kinds of mold can trigger an asthma attack in some people.

We recommend that you call us if…

• If you’ve found visible mold lurking under a carpet or a bathroom sink, or seeping out from porous ceiling tiles. If you see significant amounts of mold in your home, you may have mold that you cannot see as well.
• If you are smelling an odor that may mean you have a mold problem; a smell like rotting compost or, dare we say, stinky socks.
• If you are experiencing symptoms, like those described above, and you have received no explanation from a doctor as to why these symptoms might be occurring.
• If you are aware of the potential health risks associated with the presence of mold, and would like to confirm that you do not have a mold problem in your home or working space.
• If you are putting your home or property into the real estate market for sale and would like it officially certified as mold-free.
