Are you worried that your home might have a hidden mold problem? If so, the only way to guarantee that all mold is identified is to hire a professional mold inspection service. Here are a few of the top signs that it’s time for you to hire a certified mold inspector to take a look at your home.

If you need a mold inspection service to scope out your home for a mold problem, we here at Remtech Environmental are here to help.

• Allergies are worse at home. Breathing in mold can cause allergy symptoms like a stuffy nose, headache, and coughing. While the cause of these reactions isn’t limited to a mold presence, they may be the result of mold growth if you notice these symptoms are worse when you’re home or they occur outside of normal allergy season.
• You’ve had a leak recently. It’s common for mold to grow after there’s been a leak in your home. It’s also worth noting that even if you don’t see mold growing after a leak has been addressed, there’s still the potential for mold growth that you don’t see. Not every area of your home is easily inspected, especially without the equipment that professional mold inspectors have access to. Always schedule a mold inspection after you’ve experienced a leak to make sure any mold is located.
• Your walls have water stains. Mold and water damage leave behind stains. One of the most common places to notice visible signs of mold growth is along the walls in the form of these stains. Look for dark staining that wasn’t there before and make sure to talk to a mold inspector who can identify where the mold that caused this stain is coming from.
