When you have a mold problem in your home, you want to ensure it’s taken care of so you and your home stay protected. Mold can become a hazardous issue and always needs to be dealt with skillfully to prevent further spread and regrowth.
While DIY mold solutions are sometimes sufficient, there are times when professional mold removal is required. Here are four signs you should call on the pros:
- Unrelenting odor – Often the first sign of a mold issue, that persistent musty odor shouldn’t go ignored. If you’ve given your home a deep clean and still smell it, chances are high that mold is hiding somewhere.
- Visible growth – It’s not uncommon to find a little mold around your home. But it’s safe to assume that any visible signs you see indicate more mold that you can’t see, including airborne spores or mold growth behind the walls.
- Increased health issues – Mold can cause respiratory problems and irritate allergies. Mold spores can easily go airborne, so excess mold around your home is likely to infiltrate the air. If you’ve noticed an increase in symptoms, it’s time to seek professional mold removal services.
- Water damage – Water damage and mold often go hand-in-hand. Mold detection and prevention should always be part of a restoration plan when water is involved. Professional mold removal teams know what to look for when assessing water damage to make sure mold is caught early.
