Other Concerns*

Dark spots on walls might indicate mold growth whereas dark spots on ceilings (or ceiling tile) could indicate calcium deposits from pipes leaking or water pooling.

Musty, musky smells can be caused by a variety of issues, not just mold. High humidity areas such as basements or attics with low air flow can produce these smells even without the presence of mold.

While a majority of mold growth is completely harmless to humans and animals, mold allergies are very common and can resemble seasonal outdoor allergies. Symptoms include itchy, watery eyes, hives, headaches, difficulty breathing, runny nose and more.

Soft spots in walls, ceilings, and floors caused by water damage are a breeding ground for mold spores. Repairing these locations quickly is critical in preventing widespread mold growth. Locations with previous water damage or mold presence need to be monitored regularly to prevent future mold growth.
