Mold is more than just an eyesore. It can pose serious health risks and cause structural damage if left untreated. Mold thrives in damp, humid conditions, making it a common issue after water damage or in poorly ventilated areas.

Signs of Mold Growth

• Musty or earthy odors in certain areas of your home
• Dark spots or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors
• Increased allergy symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or congestion
• Warping or peeling of drywall and wood surfaces

Preventing Mold Growth

• Address water leaks immediately to prevent moisture buildup
• Improve ventilation in high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens
• Use a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity levels below 60 percent
• Regularly inspect basements, attics, and crawl spaces for signs of moisture
