A lot of things can wrong with your home. But by far, one of the worst problems you can have in your home is mold. In fact, some mold problems can become so bad they can force you out of your home.

So what kinds of signs should you be looking for to help identify mold?
Bad smells – the first thing you might notice is a bad smell. If you notice a musty smell it could mean you have mold. Many times, you will smell this when your vents turn on. If that happens, the mold could be inside your air ducts. If so, then you need to get your air ducts cleaned. And you might need an anti-microbial sanitation service, as well.
Water issues – one of the main causes of mold is a water problem. If you notice any stains or discoloration on your floors or walls that could indicate a leak. It’s important to find any leaks and get them fixed right away. A hidden leak can quickly lead to a mold problem.
Visual signs – the most obvious signs of mold are the visual signs. Mold is usually black, but it can be brown or gray, as well. Sometimes, mold starts as just a small speck, but if left untreated it can grow and spread quickly. If you notice anything that looks like it could be mold, take care of it.
