Mold growth tends to happen in areas of the home that is humid and full of moisture with poor air ventilation, creating a perfect environment for the fungus to grow. It can be a challenge to detect mold early as it likes to grow in dark places with little light. Very quickly though, the mold can grow at a rapid rate, possibly causing damage to the existing damage to the structure the mold is attached to.
Mold growth can also cause some health related symptoms such as
Shortness of breath
Cause a flare up in allergies
Coughing
Sneezing
Lung and Raspatory issues
Irritated Skin
Rashes
Some signs of mold can include visual as well as smell. The most common sign is the often dark patches of the mold often accompanied with a musty, moldy smell that is very distinct. In more severe cases, the mold can cause structural damage and can cause safety concerns if the damaged area is important to the integrity of the structure.
