Warning Signs of Mold Damage

Mold will grow when a spore reaches an area that has (1) sufficient moisture, (2) the correct temperature range, and (3) a food source. Insulation, paper sheathing, carpet, wood moldings, or ceiling tiles can all act as food sources.

If you suspect a mold problem, the earlier an investigation takes place the better the possibility you can reduce or prevent widespread damages. There are a variety of physical warning signs that should lead you to investigate a home or commercial building for possible mold infestation. These include:

• Visible mold growth
• Discoloration or water stains on internally facing walls or ceilings
• Discoloration or water stains on externally facing walls
• Areas of standing water or condensation on floors, walls, or window sills
• Musty odor
