In 2009 ‘Clueless’ actress Britany Murphy died from complications that were later linked to a black mold problem festering on the wall behind and under her bed. Months later her husband died from the same culprit. It is easy enough to say that a mold inspection could have saved their lives, but since the mold visible to the naked eye was located in an area that would have required moving furniture around just to discover the black spots, the question at hand isn’t so black and white. But there is a lesson to learn here: household mold can be hiding in your home, and it kills. In fact, a news feature out of Edmonton reported that a dangerous black mold problem lead to hundreds of school children being relocated to other nearby schools due to black mold found growing on walls—an inspection later revealed that the inside of the walls were festering with the stuff like an alien invasion on Independence Day.

How can I tell if I have a Mold Problem?

Household mold typically reveals itself in the form of black spots on your walls, floors, in between tiles and around faucets. However, it can also grow in your carpets or under floors and inside walls where it can’t be seen until it populated aggressively and begins spreading outwards to other more noticeable surfaces. Here are some signs that you might have a mold problem in your home, even if you can’t see any spotting:

• Rooms have a damp sensation
• Musty odor
• Upholstery, books, carpets and other organic materials feel soft from dampness
• Itchy skin and eyes
• Asthma symptoms
• Nausea
• Respiratory problem
• Recent water damage

If you experienced a pipe burst, roof leak, or ruptures hoses and water extractions were not properly initiated by a licensed water damage restoration company, the moisture left behind could very well start a spawning bed for a major mold problem.
