When you discover mold in your home, contact SERVPRO of Central Oklahoma City.

Mold has a multitude of signs, but is there a way to know if it’s growing inside your walls? The great news is YES! While the thought of mold in your home in any form can be daunting, finding it and identifying it can be very simple.

Common Signs of Mold in Walls:

• Discoloration of the wall such as black dots, or patches of gray, white, green, black, and/or brown typically clustered together and will spread.
• A musty or “earthy” smell emanating from the wall.
• Dampness to the wall- this may present as sagginess, or make the walls soft to the touch.
• Stains.
• Visible mold growth directly on the wall itself- the mold may look fuzzy or have a cotton-like texture. It may also be velvet-like, rough, or leathery.
