10 Mold Facts That May Make You Consider a Mold Inspection

1. You can have a mold problem without seeing mold. - Mold can grow behind drywall, under flooring, above ceilings, inside fabrics, and in other hidden areas where moisture is present. The EPA specifically identifies hidden mold as a leading issue in homes with moisture.

2. A musty smell can be a warning sign. - The EPA reports a moldy or musty odor can suggest that mold is growing somewhere in a building and should be investigated, even when the source is not immediately visible.

3. A past leak can create a problem long after the water is gone. -Roof leaks, plumbing leaks, flooding, condensation, and damp basements or crawl spaces can provide the moisture mold needs to grow. If the affected materials were not properly dried, hidden mold can remain a concern.

4. Mold can begin growing quickly after water damage. - The EPA recommends drying wet or damp materials within 24–48 hours when possible to help prevent mold growth. If water damage was not dried properly, an inspection may help determine whether moisture or mold remains.

5. Mold may be affecting your health even if you are not allergic to it. - The EPA says mold can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs in both mold-allergic and non-allergic people.

6. Damp buildings increase mold growth and are associated with respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma. - The World Health Organization found that persistent dampness and indoor microbial growth are associated with increased respiratory symptoms, allergies, and asthma.
https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789289041683?utm_source=
7. Indoor humidity that stays too high can encourage mold growth. - The EPA recommends keeping indoor relative humidity below 60%, ideally between 30% and 50%. Persistent high humidity can indicate a moisture control problem worth investigating. https://www.epa.gov/mold/brief-guide-mold-moisture-and-your-home?utm_source=
8. Mold can affect sensitive individuals more severely. - According to the CDC, exposure can trigger asthma attacks in people with asthma, and people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung disease may be at increased risk for lung infections caused by mold.
https://www.cdc.gov/asthma/hcp/clinical-guidance/
9. Cleaning visible mold does not necessarily fix the problem. - If the underlying water leak or moisture source is not corrected, the EPA states the mold problem will most likely return. Finding the source of moisture is just as important as removing the visible growth.
https://www.epa.gov/mold/how-do-i-get-rid-mold?utm_source=
10. A mold inspection is about finding moisture and mold conditions, not just identifying a “scary” type of mold. - The CDC reports there are no established standards for acceptable quantities of mold in homes and does not recommend routine mold testing. A professional assessment can instead focus on visible growth, moisture problems, water damage, and conditions that could support mold growth.
