Mold exposure often goes unnoticed as it is often hidden. Mold pollution is an unhealthy level of mold spores in the air and many homeowners are unfamiliar with common exposure symptoms. Mold growth in the home can appear in many different forms from black spots in your shower to white, fuzzy patches upon your basement floor. The reality, however, is that most of the mold affecting your health is not always visible, and it is difficult to detect without a mold specialist.  

What are the most common mold exposure symptoms?

  • Irritation to your eyes, skin, lungs, throat, and nose
  • Sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and a skin rash
  • Asthma attacks in those already suffering from asthma
  • Chronic coughing and fatigue, as well as persistent headaches and wheezing


Prolonged exposure to unhealthy mold spore counts can cause a lot of different symptoms. Even if you do not have asthma, allergies, or any other respiratory problems, mold exposure symptoms can be serious. It is important to recognize the possibility of mold pollution related illness when they occur and contact a mold specialist quickly to test your indoor air and make recommendations.

Do you have a mold problem?

As a home or business owner, it is important that you recognize the signs of a hidden mold problem. Unfortunately, however, mold spores and mold pollution often go undetected. Mold can develop in a variety of areas. For instance, musty smells or water leaks could be indicators of a hidden mold problem as dampness promotes mold growth. In order to protect your health and the indoor air quality of your home, if you suspect you might have a mold issue or you simply want peace of mind, you may need to contact indoor air quality specialist such as a certified mold inspector, especially if you are experiencing possible mold-related symptoms.
