I think there’s mold.

What now?

01 · DO NOT DISTURB IT

Don't scrub, sand or blow air at visible mold — that releases spores into the air you breathe.

02 · CONTAIN THE ROOM

Close interior doors. Shut off HVAC and fans that move air out of the affected room.

03 · STOP THE WATER

Find and stop the moisture source: leak, condensation, overflow. Mold cannot grow without it.

04 · PROTECT PEOPLE FIRST

Move infants, elderly, asthmatic or immunocompromised household members to another area.

05 · DOCUMENT & TEST

Photograph the area, then take a surface sample so you have lab-backed evidence before any cleanup.

Emergency Notice

Trouble breathing, chest pain or a severe allergic reaction is a medical emergency — call 911 in the US.

For sewage, flooding or structural water damage, contact your local health department or a licensed remediation contractor.
