Signs of Mold Problems in your Crawl Space or other parts of your home:
Wondering if you’re having a mold problem in your Crawl Space? Pay attention to any musty smells or the feeling of excessive moisture in your house. Your utility bills may skyrocket because of a water or air-conditioning leak; this leak provides the moisture for fungal growth. Pay attention to any infestations of pests, as their pathway into your home provides the ventilation needed for growth. Additionally, monitor yourself for symptoms of allergies or trouble breathing.
If there is black mold below the house, it will not be long before it is in your house. This is because of the stack effect. The stack effect causes humidity to rise. Since a moist area is ideal for the growth of mold, the rising humidity will bring black spores with it.
Can Black Mold in the Crawl Space Make You Sick?
Yes, stachyboytrys (black mold) can make you sick. Minor symptoms are similar to allergies, and include: nosebleeds, a stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and coughing. Longer exposure can cause headaches, repetitive chest colds, sinusitis, fatigue, and a seemingly unending cough. Prolonged exposure can cause memory loss, nerve issues, muscle cramping, weight gain, anxiety, and trouble concentrating. You should have professional tests done to assess what types of mold you may have. Testing is usually inexpensive, and well worthwhile to asses any health risks.
Where does mold usually happen?
Mold growth can occur on the most common building surfaces such as drywall, sheetrock, around windows, wood, carpet, linoleum floor or on any organic material. Many building occupants and homeowners are becoming more and more aware of the health hazards associated with mold contamination. Growth can begin usually within 48 hours after the appropriate moisture content has been achieved. When a material is infested with mold, special care must be taken during the removal, cleaning, and remediation process, to contain, clean and prevent the unintentional spread of the mold spores.
Mold will often grow in damp or wet areas indoors. Common sites for indoor mold growth include bathrooms, basements, areas around windows where moisture condenses, and near leaky water sources or sinks. Common causes of moisture problems include roof leaks, poor maintenance, condensation associated with high humidity or cold spots in the building, plumbing system failures or heavy rains, and slow leaks in plumbing systems.
