Is Your Home Making You Sick Signs You Need a Mold Inspection

If you or your family keep coughing, catching colds, or feeling worse at home than outside, your house could be affecting your health. One of the most common hidden causes is mold. Poor indoor air quality caused by mold can slowly weaken your immune system and make you feel sick more often.

Health Symptoms Linked to Mold

Mold releases tiny spores into the air that you breathe every day. Over time, this can cause ongoing health problems.

  • Frequent coughing or sore throat
  • Cold or flu like symptoms that do not go away
  • Stuffy nose or sneezing indoors
  • Worsening asthma or breathing problems
  • Headaches or constant tiredness
  • Skin irritation or itchy eyes
  • Getting sick more often than usual

If you feel better when you leave home and worse when you return, mold may be affecting your indoor air.

Why Mold Makes People Sick

Mold spores irritate the lungs and can weaken your immune system. This makes it harder for your body to fight off viruses and infections.

Children, seniors, and people with allergies or asthma are more sensitive, but healthy adults can also be affected by long term exposure.

Hidden Places Mold Grows

Mold does not need to be visible to cause problems. It often grows in areas you cannot see.

  • Behind drywall after leaks
  • Under flooring or carpets
  • Inside attics and insulation
  • Basements and crawlspaces
  • Bathrooms with poor ventilation
  • Inside walls near plumbing

When You Need a Mold Inspection

  • Musty or damp smells
  • Recent water damage or leaks
  • Condensation on windows or walls
  • Health symptoms linked to being at home
  • Older homes or poor airflow

A professional inspection finds moisture sources and hidden mold before it spreads.
