What Are the Signs of Basement or Crawl Space Mold?

Do you smell a stale odor in your home? Does this odor become more prominent in the basement or crawl space? If you inspect your basement and crawl space, are you able to see mold growth on the floor, walls, around windows, or on the floor joists? These are all common signs that you have a basement and crawl space mold problem in your business or home and need to contact a professional before the issue becomes worse.

Can Mold in Your Basement or Crawl Space Affect Upstairs?

In most cases, mold problems in your basement or crawl space will affect the areas of your home above it. Air rises inside of your home which causes an upward flow of air and indoor air quality could be affected. If you do not have a central HVAC system or fans, then airflow may not be distributed properly throughout the home. Keeping your basement well ventilated and heated will help control moisture and airflow and prevent future mold growth.

How Fast Can Mold Grow After a Basement or Crawlspace Flood?

If your home or business has had moisture or flooding problems, it is likely that mold and mildew problems exist or soon will. Under the right conditions, it typically takes between 24 and 48 hours for mold to begin forming. Depending on the type of surface materials that are present, the amount of moisture, temperature, and airflow will affect the speed at which mold will grow.
