Mold Odor - What It Smells Like

Mold SmellFunny smells in your house are often a sign that you've got an uninvited guest hanging around and making everybody sick. The first step in kicking it out is to know the mold odor.

What Does Mold Smell Like?

If you've ever smelled mold before, you'll never forget it. It's the smell of something rotting, like paper or wood. It is a musty, tangy odor like there's something moist in the room. Some people say it smells like cedar; others say it smells like wet socks. Either way, look for a musty, moist odor that doesn't seem to go away no matter how many windows you open.

It's easy to get used to the smell of mold, and that's one reason it's so deadly. If you've got a room that you think might have a mold problem, leave the room and come back. Get some fresh air outside, and when you go back into the room, you'll know that something doesn't smell right.

You Nose Knows

Sometimes you'll react to the mold before you smell it. There might be a part of your house where, as soon as you walk in, you start sneezing or your nose gets irritated. This is a sign that your nose knows there's mold. Sometimes this is the only indication.

Where To Sniff For Mold

Mold grows where there's been moisture. This means that kitchens and bathrooms are often the main culprits. You can also find mold growing in closets, under furniture and behind walls.

When in doubt, it's not a bad idea to call a specialist. If you smell something funny, you probably have a mold problem. Follow the mold odor, and you'll be on your way to kicking it out of your house.

Mold and mildew growth is a common problem in places that contain moisture. Cleansing your home of these harmful problems should be a high priority, visit http://www.getmoldremovaltips.com to get more information on how to identify mold and remove it


Mold health hazard in basement?
Me and a few of my buddies were playing video games in my renovated basement for at least 12 hours over the past 3 days. Today me and my father smashed the ceiling to find that it was flooded and mold had grown there! We noticed a terrible smell but it was like visiting a farm, you don't notice it after a while. So I am wondering if I should be concerned about my health since a woke up today dizzy, but that lasted about a minute after I had opened my eyes so I really didn't care. However, the whole day I have been feeling mild fatigue and I do not have any respiratory conditions such as asthma. Am I in any trouble? I'm 12 years old if you needed to know The mold smells like sour cabbage.

who do i talk to about my landlord leaving my wall exposed?
my apartment has mold and rotten wood within the walls, and my landlord has had workers come in and take off the dry wall and leave saying that the wood has to dry out. how can rotten wood dry out? the smell is making me feel ill. there are bugs coming out of the wall also. My landlord tried to tell me i could stay in one of the vacant apartments but why would i do that when there is nothing down there, that's like living in a storage unit and i don't know if it is even legal. Should he have put me and my children up in a hotel or something because i know he does not want to pay for anything, my throat is really irritated since he opened the walls, what should i do, just looking for some advice. He does not want to replace the rotten wood he only wants to replace the insulation and cover up the wall is that right? he also told me to keep my windows and doors open at all times. I can't do that i have fibromyalgia and can't deal with the cold. i am moving as soon as possible, i just want to know if what he is doing is legal. I have nowhere else to go and i am not staying in an empty apartment. i have been feeling this sick feeling for a while but when i leave my house i feel better, does that mean i have been inhaling this mold smell all the time i have been living here, through the many cracks in my walls?
