Home Inspector with INDOOR MICROBIAL SPECIALIST HI-80 & MRSA1895
Mold can have a significant impact on the health of your property and those living or working there. It’s important to recognize the signs of mold so you can take action quickly. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to recognize when there is mold unless you know what to look for.
Here are some tell-tale signs that there may be mold present in your home or business:
• A musty smell or odor
• Dark spots on walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and/or carpets
• Yellowish staining or discoloration around windowsills or other parts of the home
• Visible growths such as fuzzy patches that are black, gray, brown, or white
• Swelling or softening of wood furniture, flooring, or wallboards
• Peeling or bubbling paint or wallpaper
• Excessive humidity or moisture in the air

My wife can smell it half a mile away.  We could be walking down a driveway to a home to look at and she will identify mold, cats, dogs, smoking inside etc.
