Pay attention to any odd smells in your home after any sort of flooding or water damage or around areas like pipes. A strange smell is often the first clue for many homeowners that there is hidden mold in their home.
- Check your walls, ceilings, floors and areas around pipes for water spots. Water spots, particularly those that feel wet to the touch, are often an indicator of hidden mold in the home.
- Don’t try and take care of hidden mold on your own. Even checking for hidden mold behind drywall or wallpaper can release spores into the air that could be harmful to you and your family. Hire a professional to check for mold.
