Where Mold Hides in Your Home

Mold growth in structural areas adheres to or penetrates basic materials of your property. Unlike surface mold that can be wiped off tile or walls, structural mold grows inside wood framing, drywall, insulation, and subflooring. Once mold reaches these inner areas, it spreads quickly. Places we decontaminate for mold include:

• Basement supports
• Crawl spaces
• Ceiling tiles
• Water damaged framing
• Wall interiors
• Insulation inside walls
• Water damaged flooring
• Joist beams
• Exposed wood in attics

Signs of Mold Structural Damage

Mold can stay hidden in structural materials for months and damage your home from the inside. Red flags you shouldn't ignore include:

• Yellow or brown stains on ceilings or walls
• Warped or soft floors underfoot
• Increased indoor allergies
• Persistent moisture or condensation
• Lingering musty odors
• Peeling paint or wallpaper

Mold-Related Health Issues

Mold that's seemingly minor can still spread and cause severe damage and breathing problems or illnesses. Various health and more hazards can include:

• Asthma and allergy flare-ups
• Long-term respiratory illness
• Musty, polluted indoor air
• Chronic coughing and sinus problems
• Fatigue, headaches, and immune issues
• Long-term respiratory illness
• Costly repairs from spreading mold damage

Don't Ignore Structural Mold Signs

A little bend in the wall? A soft floorboard? That’s not just age. When mold reaches the frame of your house, things can go from bad to worse. Mold in beams or ceilings is nothing to ignore. One crack could lead to significant damage.

Home remedies like bleach or vinegar won't remove mold damage to structural areas. The problem can worsen by spreading spores airborne. Professional mold remediation requires training, tools, and safety procedures to fully remove the problem and prevent it from returning.
