Is it Ok to Live in a House with Mold?
While there will always be a certain level of mold growth in every home, it’s not safe to live somewhere where the levels are high. Not only does mold destroy structures and possessions if they’re organic materials, but it also harms human health. From allergy symptoms to illnesses, mold is not something that should be ignored if you find it or notice warning signs.
What are the Warning Signs of Mold in Homes?
You might find the instantly obvious signs, like coming home from vacation to swollen and discolored ceilings from a pipe burst. But there are many indicators both visual and silent that could be telling you to act, such as:
- Rotten, damp, or musty smells that permeate the home but seem to be stronger in one area
- Spots in clothing or upholstery fibers that feel either fluffy or slimy to the touch
- Spots, odors, or unexplainable stains on carpeting or rugs (check both sides)
- A water heater closet or basement crawl space – anywhere prone to moisture that’s hard to reach
- Noticing asthma or allergy symptoms that flare up only when at home and disappear when not home
- Finding a crack in wallpaper, or peeling, bubbling paint on walls or ceilings
- A musty smell after turning the air conditioning system on or finding spots on the filter
- A noticeable buildup of gunk along the grout of tiles in bathrooms or kitchens
