The scary thing about mold is that it can be present in your home and you may not even realize it. There may be some signs that make you question if there’s mold in your home and if you are in need of mold remediation. Our team at ARC Insulation is here to help you determine when mold remediation is required.
- Discoloration – If you notice discoloration on your walls or floors, this means mold is present and you are in need of mold remediation. Mold causes its target to change color– this can be anywhere from black specs to white, green, or blue colors. The mold color depends on the mold type and source.
- Water Damage – If you recently experienced some sort of flood or leak in your home, the odds are good that you will need mold remediation. Mold thrives in warm, moist atmospheres. Because of this, mold is very common after a water event. If a water event like a flood or leak occurs, we advise to have a professional inspect for mold and perform mold remediation if necessary.
- Bad Odor – With the occurrence of mold typically comes a smell. Not all mold gives off a smell, but when it does, it generally is a musty odor. In this case, even if you cannot physically see the mold, mold may still be present and remediation is necessary.
We hope this has guided you through the signs of mold and when mold remediation is necessary. The bottom line is, if you discover mold within your home, you more than likely need mold remediation. Mold can be very serious for your safety and health; we always advise that you hire a professional to resolve your mold issues.
