"I recently hired Home Restoration to remove some mold in my bathroom. I have a small child so I was extremely concerned about mold spreading to other areas. I called home restoration and they came out the same day. All I can say is I could not be more pleased with this company. From start to finish Gabe and diego was professional, and knowledgeable about mold removal. The mold is completely gone and my bathroom is on its way to getting repaired now."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Yes, brown spots on a ceiling are usually caused by water leaks and can lead to mold growth, especially if you don’t correct the underlying problem. Ongoing water leaks and moisture issues will almost always result in mold growth, especially if you live in a warm climate. Mold is a health hazard, so get the root problem fixed quickly, clean it, and encapsulate the area to avoid mold formation.

Several factors affect the color of mold, including humidity levels, age of the mold, and amount of light it receives. A patch of mold that starts out green may darken and turn black as it ages. A species of mold may be green if growing in one environment, but be black in another environment. Color usually isn't a reliable way to determine mold species or risk.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

Yes, drywall mud can get moldy—though the presence of moisture is required for this to happen. That’s why the best way to keep your powdered drywall mud fresh for as long as possible is to keep it in dry storage conditions. If you live in a humid area, it might not make sense to stockpile a lot of powdered drywall mud before you’re ready to use it. As for premixed drywall mud, avoid opening the container until you’re ready to use it—and don’t expect it to last longer than six months.

Mold doesn’t require much airflow to make it out from behind walls and into your living space, making you sick. HVAC systems can actually pull the mold from behind walls and spread it through your home. While the mold may be out of sight, moisture transfer from the wall can also spread the mold from behind the wall into your living space and air. Any cracks in the walls or bad insulation only compound this effect.
