Does your Property Have Mold?

Scared of molds? There are many things you can do to prevent it or if you already have mold at home, you can remove them completely too.  There are many ways in which you can make out whether or not you have molds at home. Here are a few:

• You or your family might be having a lot of mold related allergies lately at home? Are you sneezing and coughing? Do you have a runny nose and red and/or watery eyes? Is your throat sore and hurt constantly? Do your ears itch? These are signs of mold allergies caused when the mold spores enter your body and are attacked by your body’s immune system in the form of allergic reaction.
• If you house has a musty damp smell then you definitely have molds. This is one of the best signs of molds existing in a house. Never neglect the damp and moldy smell in a place.
• If there is humidity or moisture in the surrounding air, there is good cause for dampness and hence molds. Is your sink leaking? Is there a water spot on your walls? Is your wallpaper peeling? These could be signs of dampness leading to mold growth.
• You also get to see mold growing in black patches sometimes. Extremely tough to remove, this mold is a fast grower. Smaller patches are easier but mostly you need professional help for this. This is also a sign that your house is a perfect breeding ground for molds. Do not let the patch grow. No matter how small, take action immediately.
• If you have had floods lately, you have cause for concern. This may create molds in areas where you cannot see. Some molds are toxic and can only bring about neurological problems like headaches and memory loss but can also prove to be fatal in the long term.
