Black mold is a scary thing to have in your home! Luckily, black mold is only as dangerous as other types of mold. But no matter what kind of mold you have in your home, you need to remove it before it affects you and your family's health.

There are a few common ways homeowners realize they have mold in their homes.

• They see mold. If you see mold, there's a good chance there's a larger infestation you cannot see.
• They smell mold. If you smell a moldy or musty smell, especially a new one, it's a good indication there's mold in your home. Trust your nose!
• They get a mold inspection. A mold inspection is the most reliable way to find mold in your home. A mold inspector can use tools like a moisture meter or an infrared camera to find mold that might be hard to see with the naked eye. They also can find the extent of your mold problem.

When Should I Call a Professional?

If you know there's mold growing in your home, you should call a mold remediation professional. Black mold, like all molds, can eat away at your home and harm your family. Mold can cause eye, throat, nose, and lung irritation, as well as cause or worsen asthma attacks.

Mold remediation is the process of containing, removing, and sanitizing mold, as well as finding the original cause. One of the most important parts of the process is the thorough containment of mold so spores don't spread during removal. If you hire a professional, you can rest assured they will prevent the mold from spreading as they treat it.
