Numerous signs indicate fungal growth in homes, but most of them are too subtle to be noticed by homeowners. Therefore, the largest part of residents takes action when the problem has already spread across the entire house.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since mildew thrives on moisture, it\u2019s likely to appear in homes with high humidity levels, leaks, and water damage. The development of certain health symptoms is also an indicator of fungal growth in residences, along with the spread of a musty odor. Nowadays, there are various mold removal companies, such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, providing mold inspection, remediation, and water damage restoration services.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the main signs you need a Mold Inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69dfc6fcbaea8\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69dfc6fcbaea8\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#Water_damage\" >Water damage<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#Leaks\" >Leaks<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#Musty_smell\" >Musty smell<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#High_humidity_levels\" >High humidity levels<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#Negative_health_symptoms\" >Negative health symptoms<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#Stains_and_discolorations\" >Stains and discolorations<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#Visible_growth\" >Visible growth<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/7-signs-you-need-a-mold-inspection\/#Final_word\" >Final word<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_damage\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water damage<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water damage is undeniably a sign you require a mold inspection. It can trigger the growth of this fungus in as soon as twenty-four hours. Nevertheless, homeowners often fail to detect the presence of spores due to their microscopic size of between two and ten microns. Even if spores are not still visible, it doesn\u2019t mean you should refrain from hiring a professional inspector to look for signs of damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locating the source of moisture is invaluable when coping with water damage. For instance, finding a puddle on the floor in your kitchen is a standard indicator of a piping problem. In contrast, water stains on the ceiling usually originate from a roofing issue. In the event of a flood, the water source is more than obvious, thus requiring quick action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leaks\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaks<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaks are another unmistakable sign you need a mold inspection. Every homeowner has at least once experienced a leaky faucet in his\/her household without considering it to be a severe household issue. Anyhow, dripping taps are not just frustrating but capable of causing severe household damage. Leaving such issues unattended for an extended period might result in mold growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, this fungus will start growing near the leak source and later find its way into the HVAC system. By entering the air conditioning system, it gains access to the entire house and affects the most hidden corners. Besides dripping taps, homeowners should be on the lookout for leaking water pipes, water heaters, garbage disposal units, sink pipes, showers, and toilets. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click here<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see a few handy tips for tracing a water leak in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plumbing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plumbing<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2094 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-99-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-99-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-99.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Musty_smell\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musty smell<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The odor in your house speaks volumes about the presence of mold. If you sense a musty smell whenever you enter the house or a particular room, it means you need to have your home inspected for fungal growth. Nevertheless, mildew can be present even in the absence of a strange smell, particularly in the case of dormant spores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the weather can prove helpful in the detection of mold. Following heavy rain, the moldy smell in homes becomes more intense, thus raising suspicion in homeowners. Additionally, such a scent is present in houses during a change in season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High_humidity_levels\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High humidity levels<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another sign you might be dealing with mold is high humidity, a common problem in humid climates. In order for humidity not to create perfect conditions for mildew growth, humidity levels are supposed to be lower than sixty percent. If these are higher in your house, there\u2019s a valid reason to hire a mold inspector.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the climate, indoor humidity is known to increase because of the use of certain appliances such as clothes dryers, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">steam radiators<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and humidifiers. The most effective method of dealing with humidity in homes is by installing appropriate ventilation and exhaust fans. Also, the air ducts should be kept clean at all times, which has a significant effect not just on discouraging mold growth but pest infestation as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2095 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-100-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"437\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-100-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/unnamed-100.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Negative_health_symptoms\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Negative health symptoms<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The appearance of specific health symptoms in residents, similar to those of a cold, is an often neglected sign of mold presence. The breathing in of spores has a major effect on the skin and respiratory functions of humans, manifesting with a wide range of symptoms such as skin inflammation, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, breathing difficulties, tightness in the chest, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, this fungus is capable of causing a sore throat, watery eyes, and nosebleeds. Nevertheless, the inhalation of mycotoxins, present in the most poisonous type of mold, is infamous for causing more severe symptoms such as hemorrhage, nausea, exhaustion, suppression of the immune system, even mental impairment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, many homeowners confuse these health symptoms with those of a common cold. Anyhow, experiencing them frequently might be an indicator of a mildew problem. Residents suffering from asthma are also likely to experience frequent asthma attacks induced by the inhalation of such spores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stains_and_discolorations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stains and discolorations<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason to hire a mold inspector is when spotting stains and discolorations on walls, ceilings, and tiles. This fungus has the capacity to alter the color of the material it comes in contact with, which immediately results in discoloration. Even though most people think of mold as black, it can appear in various colors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, a number of species appear in gray, red, brown, orange, white, and some pastel hues. The hue mainly depends on the type of substance or material subjected to fungal growth. Whenever you notice a discolored wall, bathtub, or ceiling, hesitate no longer to ask for an inspection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visible_growth\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visible growth<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most obvious signs that you need a mold inspection is the visible growth of this fungus in your home. When seeing even a small area covered in mildew, there is no time to waste. As previously mentioned, it can spread through the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/watch-favorite-shows-while-stuck-at-home\/\">house<\/a> in a matter of days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, some homeowners dismiss this problem by thinking their walls are only dirty, not covered with fungus. Even if you are not sure of the exact reason for wall discoloration, it\u2019s always a wiser idea to contact a professional to inspect the damage instead of making conclusions on your own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_word\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final word<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ignoring these signs will only make consequences graver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Act on time!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you suspecting mold presence in your house?
