Expert Advice: How do I know if my house has mold?

1. Look
In many cases, mold growth can be seen. It may have different colors like white, gray, brown, black, yellow, or green and texture that varies from fuzzy and cottony to rough and leathery. Check for leaks, standing water, and condensation. Take a look at our mold slideshow for some visual examples. 

2. Sniff
If you can smell an earthy or musty odor, you may have a mold problem. Call our mold expert (305.285.0030) if you can smell it, but can't see it. Mold can hide inside walls, beneath floors, and behind baseboards.

3. Check A/C
Standing water around air conditioning units can create a mold problem. Inspect evaporator coils, drain pans and lines often.

4. Allergy Symptoms
If mold-allergic people experience symptoms such as nasal and sinus irritation or congestion, dry hacking cough, wheezing, skin rashes or burning, watery or reddened eyes, or asthma when in your home, you may have a mold problem.

One of the most common way to spot is musty or earthy smell. If you have such smell in your home it means mold is there in the home. Also, one of your family member must have allergic problems due to mold. It's harmful for health and it need to be cleaned quickly.
