#AtoZChallenge - T is for Toxic Mold

Toxic mold can be the terrible result from ongoing unresolved drainage issues. Here are some key warning signs that you have toxic mold challenges:

1. Unexplained allergic reactions. Sneezing, sore eyes, runny nose, and nasal congestion are common reactions to mold in your house.
2. Smell of mold. That musky, moldy smell is a sure sign, don’t ignore it.
3. Visible signs of mold growth. It might look like soot or dirt, but closer inspection may reveal it is mold.
4. Past water damage. If you have had exterior drainage problems that led to water in your basement, you probably have mold from that water seepage.
5. Water leaks. If you have water trickling down from your basement windows or dribbling down a basement wall, you more than likely also have mold growing in your basement.
6. Past Flooding. If your basement ever flooded, you probably have mold growing somewhere in your basement.

Toxic mold symptoms include headaches, trouble concentrating, shortened attention span, memory loss, and dizziness. If you are experiencing such symptoms, see a doctor.
