    Signs of mold exposure in a house can vary depending on the type of mold, the amount of exposure, and the individual's sensitivity. Some common signs include but are not limited to:


    • Musty Odor: A strong, earthy, or musty smell is often the first clue that mold is present, even if you can't see it.
    • Visible Patches: Look for discolored, slimy, fuzzy, or powdery spots on walls, ceilings, floors, or other surfaces.
    • Respiratory Issues: People with asthma may experience exacerbated symptoms like chest tightness and shortness of breath due to mold exposure.
