One good thing about mold is that if you can see it, you know that you have mold in your house. Seeing mold in the cracks and corners of your walls definitely means it is growing and spreading more spores. Keep in mind that mold may also grow in places you cannot see, such as in your ducts or between your walls. It may also form colonies so tiny they escape the eye. Mold growth can pose a significant risk to both your home or business and your health. It has a major impact on air quality and can occur from events like water damage. To prevent further property damage, inspections and testing must be conducted. In certain cases, these problems can even go undetected, causing unseen long-term problems.
A few situations should make you look for any mold problems in your house:
Water damage. If your roof leaked, or a broken pipe sprayed water all over the kitchen, you need to inspect for mold. Any place that got wet and was not quickly dried (within 24 to 48 hours) could become contaminated by mold.
Purchasing a new home. There is no way to know what kind of water damage may have happened in the house you are planning to buy. The only way to find out if mold is present is to do a mold inspection.
After a house has been unoccupied. If a house has been closed up and unoccupied for months or years, humidity could have built up inside and caused mold to grow. This is especially a problem in warmer areas with high humidity.
After mold remediation. If you have gone through the often expensive and difficult steps to deal with a mold problem, regular mold inspections are a good idea to make sure you really got rid of it all.
You see some mold. If you notice some green, blue, black, or white stuff growing in your house, do a mold inspection to make sure you find it all. It might not be restricted to one location.
