Mold damage is one of the most common damages a homeowner may deal with. However, it’s not always as noticeable as you’d think. To help you identify a potential mold problem, we put together this short list of three less noticeable signs of mold damage in your home.
- Sickness at home: Do you find yourself getting sick a lot at home? Coughing, sneezing, headaches, and fatigue that are noticeably worse at home may point to a mold problem. Mold spores that find their way into your air circulation can cause you and your family members to get sick. This sickness is especially serious for people with preexisting respiratory issues, so pay attention to this warning sign of mold damage.
- Poor plant health: Your indoor plants can also reveal a mold problem. Pay attention to how the soil and leaves of your plants look. White or yellow coloring appearing on your plants or in their soil without any other clear reason as to their poor health is a more subtle sign of a mold problem in your home.
- Previous mold damage: You may think that having a past mold problem that was resolved may clear you for having current mold problems, but that is not the case. Previous mold issues make your home more susceptible to new mold growth, so it’s a good idea to have your home checked out periodically for any new growth.
