Signs that You Might be Dealing with Carpet Mold

Mold can not only grow on your Rhode Island home's walls, tile, and within your air conditioning system, but also on your carpet. In fact, mold can grow on virtually any surface in any damp place with insufficient ventilation. Wet carpets are ideal grounds for mold and mildew growth, as any amount of moisture on your carpet will lead to mold growth.

Carpet mold can be tricky to detect, as the mold may be growing underneath the carpet surface. However, the following signs may indicate that your home is experiencing carpet mold:

  • A musty odor in the vicinity of the carpet.
  • If you are experiencing such allergic symptoms as breathing trouble, cough, and congestion within your home, it may be caused by your carpet.
  • If you detect any wetness or dampness on your carpet, you will probably find mold.
  • Discolored patches, typically white, black, or green in color, on your carpet is most likely mold.
To help protect your home from carpet mold, take great care to clean any spills or moisture on your carpet immediately. If you leave wet carpets to dry off naturally, mold has most likely grown on the underside of the carpet. For more information on preventing carpet mold growth, contact National Floors Direct. National Floors Direct provides quality carpet, hardwood, laminate, and vinyl floor installation throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, including Cape Code, Madison, and Rumford.
