A family in Londonderry, NH notices that the discoloring in their carpet has gotten considerably worse than when they had seen it just a couple days ago.  Appearing an olive-green brownish color on their beige carpet, the customers had originally thought it was spilled coffee.  They padded the carpet with a wet cloth to clean it, only to see it grow worse in the following days.  The substance continued to spread, and the customers knew something worse was happening. It was time to contact a mold remediation specialist.

Contact a Mold Remediation Specialist Service

Unaware of what the substance may be but knowing that the substance had been eating way at their home, the customers called Soil-Away Restoration Services, a local water damage cleanup and mold remediation company.  After talking with experts, the family had it tested and learned that the substance in their house was Cladosporium, a mold generally found indoors that can grow in both warm and cold conditions.  The customers were ashamed that they did not know what the substance was when they first saw it, but they were particularly happy with both Soil-Away’s highly informed experts and customer support.  Immediately they asked Soil-Away to send their mold remediation specialists to get rid of the mold in their house.

Ways to Recognize Mold

When the technicians came out, they not only took care of the mold, but they informed the family of some of the warning signs for mold, should it appear again later.  The technicians advised that they should call immediately if they suspect mold again in the future, because it can be very dangerous once it spreads.  Some of the common warnings for mold are:

• Musty odors
• Discoloration
• Dampness
• Bad allergies

Alone, one of these may be hard to figure out if mold is present.  But combined, these can all serve as warnings for mold.  A mold remediation specialist should be considered should any of these be noticeable within one’s home.  The technicians claimed that mold can easily develop and spread in a damp house with poor ventilation.
