You don’t need to wait until mold shows up in bold patches before taking action. Watch out for these early warning signs—then contact Prime Mold Inspection for timely, effective intervention.
1. Musty or Damp Odors
You might not see mold, but you can often smell it. A persistent, musty scent in rooms, closets, or basements suggests mold growth in hidden areas. With our infrared cameras and moisture meters, Prime Mold Inspection can track down the source.
2. Some Walls or Ceilings Staining
Warm and humid climates, plumbing leaks, and occasional flooding can lead to brown or yellow stains. These may indicate moisture intrusion and early mold colonies. Ignoring stains allows mold to penetrate deeper into materials—prompt inspection prevents this progression.
3. Allergic Symptoms Indoors
Do you find yourself sneezing, coughing, or having irritated eyes only when indoors? Common-sense explanations might include pets or dust—but mold allergies present the same way. Prime Mold Inspection can test indoor air quality and identify which spores are present.
4. Recurring Condensation Build‑Up
Condensation on windows, pipes, or interior walls is more than just a nuisance. Over time, moisture encourages mold. You may be able to address condensation through ventilation, but if it returns, it’s time for a mold inspection.
5. Previous Water Damage
Homes that suffered past flooding or leaks—even if repaired—may harbor dormant mold spores in behind-the-wall cavities or subfloors. Prime Mold Inspection tests these areas with wall pulls and moisture readings to ensure they’re clear.
