Do you think you have Mold on your carpet? And you aren’t sure how to tell. The good news is mold on carpet is easy to spot visually but harder to spot depending on the color of your carpet and the length of time the mold exists.
Mold on carpet is also not something you will notice right away and can generally take some time to show. In the meantime, the odor may be a good indicator that a problem could be on the way.
This problem commonly occurs in homes with basements in areas that experience rain often and have a tendency to have a softer soil around the foundation.
Getting rid of Mold on your Carpet
We highly recommend you seek the help of a professional for a mold inspection to confirm the presence of mold.
Removing the carpet will not guarantee that no mold spores also commonly called (stachybotrys chartarum) will be removed. It is possible that they still could exist on the walls or floors surrounding the carpet.
Here in Atlanta, Georgia black mold is a common problem and many homes have carpet. If you have had any major water leaks or water damage to any of the areas around carpet, you may want to get a mold inspection to be safe.
