MOLD IN YOUR HOME

How do you find the mold in your home? sometimes it is easy--it may be right in front of you, or you will find it by its distinctly musty smell. Though it is harder to find hidden mold, you can do so by looking behind and beneath fixed materials and appliances--anywhere near where water flows or where air does not penetrate readily. Also look for signs of discoloration on walls and ceilings, this can denote a moisture buildup behind which mold may lurk.
