Mold growth is all about the humidity, so it is reasonable, if you live in an area prone to high humidity, then the chances of developing home a mold problem are much greater. Anything over 55% humidity favors the growth of mold and mildew. Often, heating and cooling mask that there is a moisture problem, and it is not until you actually put to the test room with a humidity sensor or plug in a dehumidifier that the condition is obvious.
Signs physical mold:
1. It smells of mold or moisture at home can be a sign of a mold problem. The presence of this smell does not mean you have a problem, but motivate the search for new signals.
2. Increase or chronic allergies or respiratory problems, especially for all or most household members is a sign that there is a common problem. According to a 1999 study from the Mayo Clinic, nearly all chronic sinus infections (we're talking about 37 million Americans), are the result of mold.
3. When toxin levels of black mold or other fungus reach high levels, toxic poisoning can occur. Common symptoms include headaches, decreased attention span, difficulty in concentration, and dizziness.
The signs of mold in your home:
1. Leakage of water pipes, especially those that have been identified, are perfect breeding grounds for mold.
2. The areas of the house that may have been damaged by flooding is a common place for mold growth.
3. If your house had a leaking roof, a logical place to look for signs of mold is the attic. Search for evidence of water damage or mold growth on the roof of the upper floors.
4. Using a humidifier can raise the humidity level to a point where promoting the growth of mold. Regulating the level of humidity to remain within a range of 55-60% relative humidity.
5. A damp basement or crawl space can be a refuge for the growth of mold and go undetected for long periods of time. Water leaks from higher sources can also make your way down and add to the problem.
6. Yellow spots on walls, ceilings and carpets are a sign of excess moisture. A green, brown or blackish may indicate the presence of mold. A medical grade light shone black in the area indicate a yellow light if mold growth is present. Also look for areas they are disposing of, or swelling due to excess moisture. The peeling paint and drywall tape loosening are also common indicators.
7. Sewers blocked can cause water to be absorbed into the walls to the ceiling or collect at the base of the foundation.
8. Signs of condensation around the windows, walls or pipes, or metal oxide is a sure sign of high humidity that can lead to a mold problem.
9. Warped wood is a sure sign of excess humidity. The buildup can cause mold growth.
10. Mold growth behind tiles in wet bathing is a common area for detection. The grout is porous, and once it enters the water, dirt gets trapped and encourages mold growth.
11. If the steam dryers and other appliances are vented in Inside, this can also be a sign of a problem area. Check for signs of rust around the opening and surrounding area.
12. Watch the presence of any wet items in the house, such as rags, clothes dryers inside or areas with poor ventilation.
What to do:
When you see actual mold spores, perhaps in a small area of the bathroom or shower, take immediate action before it spreads further. You will to identify the cause of the problem and check whether it has spread to other areas. Clean and disinfect the area and dry thoroughly. Any spores Left Behind will continue growing a Once the area is exposed to moisture.
Taking an actual sample of the mold and send it out of the test can be costly, and can only tell you what you already know. You might better identify the magnitude of the problem and fix it from the beginning.
