Mold is a type of growth you definitely don’t want in your home. A professional mold inspection can help you identify any mold growth in your home and is the first step to making sure all of the mold gets removed. Some signs, such as visible growth, make it obvious that you need a mold inspection. However, some are more subtle. Here are three of the less obvious signs that you need a mold inspection.
- Persistent allergies. Mold can cause persistent allergy symptoms year-round, including a stuffy nose, itchy eyes and throat, and dry, irritated skin. If you have these symptoms outside of normal seasonal allergies and they seem to get worse when you’re home, you may have a mold problem.
- Previous mold growth. Once you’ve dealt with a mold problem in your home, you’re more likely to have mold growth in the future. Even if you don’t see any mold, it’s a good idea to hire a mold inspection service periodically to make sure there isn’t any new growth in your home.
- Strange smells from your HVAC system. Your HVAC system is a common place for mold to grow in your home. Musty scents or other weird smells coming from your HVAC system should be a cause for concern, so if your system is smelling strange and you suspect there’s mold growth, be sure to hire a mold inspection expert to check things out.
