HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET YOUR HOUSE CHECKED FOR MOLD?

No matter how clean your house is, there is always a chance that mold is lingering in your home. It can grow in remote places that are hard to notice, such as your basement, air ducts, and even inside your walls. For this reason, the best way to make sure it's not in your home is by asking for a professional mold inspection. But when should you get a professional, and how frequently should it be done? We can help you with some tips to make your home mold-free.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR HOME HAS MOLD IN THE WALLS

WHY SHOULD YOU GET A MOLD INSPECTION?

Mold in your home can affect the quality of your life. Besides causing symptoms such as congestion, throat irritation, and itchiness, certain strains of mold can be extremely harmful (especially for younger and older people).

It doesn't just harm and cause illness to humans but also pets. If you or your family are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should schedule a mold inspection.

The inspection will also help improve your home's health. Mold often grows in damaged parts of houses. During the visits, the professionals will look for places that may be damaged, such as leaking roofs, windows, and pipes, and inform you if there's something to fix. Once these areas are fixed, you will reduce the possibility of mold growing in your home and prevent further damage.

WHEN TO GET A INSPECTION?

Several factors will let you know if you're more likely to have mold developing in your home, such as:

• If you are living in an older home (where damage is more likely to be present, allowing mold to grow)

• When you first buy a home, mainly if it wasn't inhabited for a while before you moved into it

• If your home experienced water damage

• If you live in an area with a more humid climate

• If you are experiencing allergy-like symptoms inside your home

Even if your home doesn't have these risk factors, it's still a good idea to have an inspection to ensure it's safe. You should do this at least once a year if your home has a low risk of mold contamination and more often if your home has any of the above risk factors.

MAKE SURE YOUR HOME IS MOLD-FREE

Even if your home seems to be free of mold, there may be some growing in hidden places. Getting a regular home mold inspection will help you ensure your home is a healthy environment for you and your family.
