If you or any other household members have been suffering respiratory problems from the time you moved into a new house or apartment the culprit may be black mold. It is notoriously hard on our respiratory system and can result in difficultly breathing. If you already have health problems, infections caused by black mold can even kill you. Understanding what the symptoms of mold are can help you figure out if your house has a mold problem.

If you suspect that something in your home is causing your family's health issues be sure to do a thorough check for any mold. There are many businesses out there that will do an indoor mold check for you. If instead you choose to check for yourself, you need to know the symptoms of it.

Be on the look out for any green or yellow stains. Even though it is called a black mold, the color is actually green. It is simply just the name of this particular type of mold.

Regions with high levels of humidity commonly create the perfect conditions in which black mold can flourish. All types of mold need moisture to grow which is why most humid places more commonly suffer mold problems. If this matches up with some new health problems, you may very well have black mold.

If the paint is cracked or peeling off of the walls, mold may be an issue. The moisture associated with it will cause paint to crack and peel. Once you have seen this as a problem with the paint, you may need to contact a professional in order to confirm the mold problem.

Another of the symptoms for it is a damp crawl space or basement. As mentioned previously, mold requires dampness for growth. If an area of the home has experienced a water line break or is simply wet, you may wish to consider checking your home for mold or contacting a professional. If there are any strains of mold in your home, a professional can find them and break them down for you. A professional can also help to eliminate mold if any is present. Eliminating black mold from the home is vital for the sake of your family's health.
