Stains and discoloration on the walls and ceilings
The common perception is that mold can only be found in damp and dark places. However, depending on the surface or organic substance the mold settles on, the discoloration can instead be yellow, gray, white, orange, brown, red, and even some hues of pastel colors. Depending on the context, it may resemble dust, fuzz, or even granules of sand in its physical appearance.
Weird Musty Smells
Each of us is accustomed to the smells of our own properties, but occasionally an unusual scent will catch our attention. A musty or moldy odor that won’t go away is a possible indication that you should have your property inspected by experts for mold. A musty odor is not necessarily the result of a mold infestation and vice versa. This is why experts should look into it.
Possible Mold-Related Health Effects
It is prudent to look into the possibility of mold exposure if members of your property develop health issues for which doctors are unable to pinpoint a cause. If you’ve ever experienced a decline in your health after spending time in a particular room, only to feel like yourself again once you leave, you may have been exposed to poor air quality.
Bad air quality may contribute to the following symptoms:
- Nasal & sinus congestion
- Allergy symptoms
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Issues with breathing
- Coughing
A mold infestation is one environmental risk that can lower air quality. In such cases, a mold inspection and test can verify whether the health issues are due to mold contamination. Protecting our health should always be our top priority and therefore we should act fast. Get a mold remediation service right away!
