"I had used a home mold test that had high numbers of a toxic mold present. I called Mold Remediation & Testing Experts who explained that home kits aren t always accurate. They came out and did a professional sampling. The crew was professional and friendly. I got my results back in a day. The test showed my house didn t have a problem at all. Some other companies would have skipped the test and went right into treatment, but not these guys. They did things the right way!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Many types of mold spores and fungi spores are constantly present in the air, but they need a friendly surface and moisture to grow. Should some of these spores land on paper or wood with significant moisture present—such as drywall with a paper cover that is soaking up water from a leak—mold or fungi could begin growing. Dampness from leaky pipes, condensation on windows, leaks in a roof, flooding in a basement, or high, prolonged humidity in a small area all can create the excess moisture that mold and fungi need to grow in your home.

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.

Having a dry house can be unhealthy for you and the home. Excessive dryness can lead to respiratory issues, dry skin, dry or sore throats, and other problems. Additionally, any wooden furniture and the home's structure and floors can suffer from cracking and shrinking under dry indoor air conditions, leading to gaps and splits.

A stain from a water leak will usually be brown and concentrated in a single area where the water is originating from. You may find it under a damaged section of roof, under an upstairs bathroom, or beneath your HVAC system. Stains from condensation are more likely to be widespread since they don’t come from a single point of water intrusion. Condensation stains also look blotchy and may smell musty, and they won’t be concentrated in a single area on your ceiling.

Mold loves moisture, so prolonged high humidity levels or standing water can trigger mold growth. Mold also needs a food source to grow on, such as wood, fabric or another material. However, it's moisture that's most important for mold growth, which is why you want to keep humidity levels low.
