While you likely know that mold damage is something you need to look out for in your home, you may not know exactly what it does. Unfortunately, mold can start as a subtle problem but quickly grow and impact your home in several different ways.

How Mold Damage Impacts Your Home

  • Strange Odors. One unpleasant, early consequence of mold damage is a strange, musty smell. As mold grows, it can release gases that smell distinct and unpleasant. These smells may be strongest in areas where more mold is present, but they can easily permeate the entirety of your home.
  • Wall Damage and Stains. Mold damage can be particularly hard on your home’s walls and ceilings. Oftentimes, you may be able to see mold, whether through surface stains or discoloration. Other imperfections in your wall, including warps, cracks, or peels, can also indicate you have mold damage.
  • Health Issues. Mold damage, unlike many other types of home issues, has the unfortunate risk of causing physical harm to residents. Mold damage may cause those living in your home to experience congestion, sneezing, coughing, or throat irritation. Though these do not directly impact your home physically, they certainly harm your space and the experience of those living within it.
