How Can I Tell if I Have a Mold Problem?

Watch out for any common warning signs of mold in your home:

  • Foul or musty odors
  • Water spots, or other signs of a water leak
  • Visible mold spores

If you have a mold problem, you may also start to experience health issues. Be on the lookout for any symptoms of short- and long-term mold exposure.

What Are the Symptoms of Mold Exposure?

Some symptoms of mold exposure include:

  • Runny nose
  • Congestion
  • Headaches
  • Itchy, watery, or red eyes
  • And other flu-like symptoms

Those with asthma or allergies may also experience worsened symptoms. Nosebleeds are common, too.

Is it safe to clean black mold myself?

While it's possible to clean small areas of black mold yourself, it's important to consider the following factors:

  • Health Risks: Black mold, or Stachybotrys chartarum, can release mycotoxins that may pose health risks, especially to those with respiratory issues or allergies. If the affected area is extensive or if you have health concerns, it's advisable to consult with a professional.
  • Proper Identification: Ensure that the substance is indeed black mold. Some molds can look similar, and misidentification might lead to inappropriate cleaning methods.
  • Protective Measures: If you decide to clean it yourself, take proper precautions. Wear protective gear, including an N95 respirator, gloves, and eye protection, to minimize exposure to mold spores.
  • Containment: Isolate the affected area to prevent the spread of mold spores to other parts of the house. Seal off the area with plastic sheeting and tape, and use an exhaust fan to direct air outside during cleaning.
  • Cleaning Solutions: Use appropriate cleaning solutions. While some recommend using bleach, others suggest mold-specific cleaners. Research and choose a solution that suits your situation.
  • Hidden Mold: If mold is behind walls or in hidden spaces, DIY cleaning might not effectively address the entire problem. Professionals can identify and remediate hidden mold.
  • Recurring Issues: If you've attempted DIY cleaning, and the mold issue persists, it's an indication of a deeper problem. Professionals can conduct a thorough assessment to identify and address underlying causes.

Before deciding to clean black mold yourself, assess the extent of the problem, your ability to follow safety measures, and the underlying causes of the mold growth. If in doubt or for extensive issues, consulting with a mold remediation professional is often the safest course of action.

When Should I Call Someone About Mold?

It is recommended that you call a professional as soon as you suspect a mold problem.

The longer you wait, the longer the mold will have to wreak havoc. Mold spores will spread, blooming into a huge mold colony that eats away at the structure of your home. Exposure to mold is also bad for your health.
