Signs You May Need a Mold Inspection

Mold is something that no one wants to have growing in their home. In most cases, mold is hidden from plain sight, so how do you know when you might have a problem? Today's blog from Catalyst Mold Solutions offers some signs that indicate you might want to hire someone to conduct a Florida mold inspection in your home.

1. Is That Mold? 


If you think you see mold in your home, but aren't quite sure if it's actually mold or not, consider a mold inspection. A professional mold company in Florida will be able to determine if mold is your problem, and if it is, they will be able to get rid of it for you.

2. What's that Smell? 


If you smell a musty odor, it could possibly be mold. If you don't see any visible mold, it could be hiding behind the walls, under the carpet, etc. Mold testing can identify if mold really is the issue causing that musty smell in your home.

3. Why Do I Feel Sick?


One common issue with mold is that people experience allergy symptoms. This can include a stuffy head, headaches, scratchy throat, runny nose, etc. If you don't have another explanation for your increased allergy symptoms, mold could be the culprit.

4. Is there Water Damage? 


Water damage, whether due to flooding or a burst pipe, in your home can lead to the development of mold. Mold needs a damp environment to grow in, and if your water issue wasn't properly resolved, mold could easily take up residence in that area of your home.

If you already see mold in your home, chances are you don't need a mold inspection, you just need to get that mold removed. Our Florida mold remediation company is here to do just that! Not only will we get the mold out of your home, but we'll use preventative measures to ensure it doesn't come back. Give us a call at 866-343-6653 for a free quote!

Mold remediation and mold removal is a job for antimicrobials. Keep reading to learn all about antimicrobials and how our Cape Coral mold company uses them to protect you and your home from the dangerous effects of mold. What is an Antimicrobial? Antimicrobial is a term used to describe substances which demonstrate the ability to reduce the presence of microbes, such as bacteria and mold. Many substances can be described as antimicrobials, such as disinfectants and antibiotics. While many substances can be antimicrobial, they are not all the same in the way they function, perform or last. Antimicrobials can be divided into two major categories: bound and unbound. These terms refer to whether or not the antimicrobial has the capacity to molecularly bond to the surface on which it is applied. Unbound Antimicrobials When it comes to safety concerns, such as mold exposure, an unbound antimicrobial has the greater potential because it must diffuse or leach from the treated surfac...
