Signs of mold in your home

It is awful to find out that what you thought was just a spot of dirt, is actually mold growth. Have you ever moved something, and underneath found what you suspected to be mold? Appliances leaking provides a breeding ground for growth. Here are a few signs that you have mold in your home:

• smelling a mold odor- sort of like an old book store smell or a basement smell 
• mold growth- can be confused for dirt spots
• previous water leaks- under and around the area where there were previous leaks can potentially cause mold growth
• past flooding
• excess condensation- bathrooms, kitchens, and any other room that there may be excess moisture are potential hazards

The best way to confirm growth is to call a professional. Mold growth is one of the many things that is best handled by a professional.The trusted team at SERVPRO of North Knoxville will be happy to help!
