A Guide to Identifying Mold in Columbus, OH Homes


At AZ Remediation, we believe that empowering Columbus, OH homeowners with knowledge is key. While any suspected growth should be professionally inspected, here are some tips to help you identify potential mold issues.

  • Mold vs. Mildew: Mildew is a type of surface mold, typically powdery and gray or white, often found in damp, bright areas like a bathroom sill. Mold tends to be fuzzy or slimy in various colors and can indicate a deeper moisture problem.
  • A Persistent Musty Odor: This is one of the most common and reliable indicators of hidden mold growth. If you notice a damp, earthy smell in a specific area of your Columbus, OH home that doesn't go away, it's worth investigating.
  • Visible Growth: This is the most obvious sign. Look for colored spots or fuzzy patches, especially in damp areas like basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms, and around windows.
  • Signs of Water Damage: Long-term water stains, peeling paint, warped wood, or buckled flooring are all red flags that moisture is present, creating ideal conditions for mold.
  • Health Symptoms: If family members are experiencing unexplained allergy-like symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes) that improve when they leave the house, it could be a reaction to indoor mold.
