Black Mold: What is it and What are the Warning Signs Your Home may Need Mold Remediation?

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Toxic black mold is nothing to mess with, but it also no reason to panic. While it has been linked to several health issues – including asthma, allergies, rashes, sinus infections, cold/flu, pneumonia, skin infections, and more – black mold is very treatable. But time is of the essence. The longer you take to deal with toxic mold, the worse the infestation will get and the worse the above health issues will become. So here are 7 warning signs that you may have a mold problem:

Leaky Basement: A leaking or flooded basement is the perfect breeding ground for mold. It is dark, damp, and humid. It has everything that mold is looking for. So be sure to check your basement regularly for leaks, especially after a big storm.

Musty Odors: Black mold has a very specific, musty smell.

Blocked Rain Gutters: If your rain gutters are clogged, water can easily seep through the ceiling and walls, dampen your insulation, and create the perfect breeding ground for black mold.

Unexplained Allergic Reactions: Are you experiencing allergic reactions, but you cannot figure out why? You might be experiencing the effects of black mold!

Warped Floors: Water can collect between the gaps of poorly sealed floors, leading to warping and potential black mold problems.

Discolored Walls and Peeling Paint: If your walls are stained yellow, this is almost always a sign of excess moisture. And excess moisture is almost always a good sign of black mold.

Unexplained Headaches: Headaches are one of the most common symptoms of black mold poisoning. If you have frequent, unexplainable headaches, consult a mold remediation specialist to test for mold in your home.

Coughing up Blood: This is one of the most advanced symptoms of mold poisoning. If you experience this, get yourself to the hospital immediately!

If you feel as if your home may be infected by black mold, contact a professional restoration company, like Atlantic Environmental Solutions (AES), as soon as possible.
