Most Calgary homeowners have heard horror stories about mold removal, but tend to think it’s something that they don’t have to worry about too much. Mold can be a serious problem, both for your health and your home, especially if it isn’t dealt with immediately.
How can you know whether you need to call someone for Calgary mold remediation? Here are three of the most obvious signs:
1. You’ve had moisture in your home. Mold doesn’t really come from moisture (it’s around us in the air all the time), but actually starts to grow when enough moisture is present in your home. That means that leaking ceilings, flooded basements, and other forms of moisture will almost always lead to mold growth if the problem isn’t dealt with right away.
2. You notice a strange, musty smell. A lot of Calgary homeowners recognize they have a mold problem from the smell coming from a wall or room. It’s easy to ignore this kind of scent and hope it will go away, but the reality is that things will steadily get worse.
3. You see visible signs of mold on your walls. Once you get to the point where you can actually see the mold, it’s important to act right away. The last thing you want is for it to spread from one room to another, or get even worse in the coming days.
Mold doesn’t just result in poor air quality and damage your home – it can actually be very harmful to your health. So, if you spot any of these three symptoms in your home, it’s important that you call a Calgary mold remediation specialist right away.
