As the weather cools and you seal up your home, you might inadvertently be inviting a mold problem! Farr's wants to help you spot the hidden dangers.
Here are the Top 3 Signs that tell you it’s time to call the experts for a mold inspection:
1. 👃 The Musty Smell (The "Unseen" Sign)
Mold often grows in hidden spaces like behind drywall or under floorboards. If you notice a persistent, damp, earthy, or musty odor—especially in the basement, laundry room, or near a bathroom—that’s the mold off-gassing, and it's a major sign of a hidden colony. Don't ignore your nose!
2. 💧 Excessive Window Condensation (The "Sealed Home" Sign)
In the fall, when you turn on the heat and close the windows, warm, humid indoor air hits cold windowpanes and exterior walls, causing condensation. This constant moisture buildup on sills, frames, and walls is a prime food source for mold. If you see recurring moisture that you constantly have to wipe away, your indoor humidity might be too high!
3. 🤧 Worsening Cold/Allergy Symptoms (The "Health" Sign)
Are your "fall allergies" dragging on, or are your cold symptoms worse when you're at home? Mold exposure can cause persistent:
Sneezing, coughing, and postnasal drip.
Itchy, watery eyes.
Worsening asthma or breathing difficulties.
If you or a family member feel better when you leave the house and symptoms return upon walking back in, indoor mold could be the culprit.
Don't let a hidden mold problem compromise your health or home this season!
