Do you have hidden mold in your NJ home? If you notice a musty odor, there is a big chance that there is mold present somewhere within your home. Many types of mold release chemical vapors, known as microbial volatile organic compounds. Mold can be hard to find when hiding in places like heating, ventilation and air conditioning ducts or inside walls. Water damage from flooding or leaking can lead to mold growing in concealed or hard to reach places.
Mold can spread easily throughout the home. If you see traces of mold in one area, then there is probably mold in other places. For example, if you see mold on a wall, there is a good chance there is also mold inside the wall. If you see mold on carpet, there is a good chance there is also mold under the carpet and possibly even under the floorboards.
