Mold in Carpet?!

If you suspect mold may be growing somewhere in your St. George home, after inspecting the obvious trouble spots such as bathrooms, attics and basements, don’t forget to check your carpet. Carpet can be an ideal hiding spot for mold because the mold doesn’t have to be at the surface where it is visible. Mold can grow beneath carpet, on the carpet padding where it lies hidden from the naked eye. While mold in the carpet can be more of a hassle and odor problem than anything, it can also pose a health risk is there is a severe allergy to it or if it is a mold that is more dangerous. When mold invades your carpet, the extent of it can remain unknown for lack of a visual. There may be a small area, underneath where a leaking window without an adequate seal is located or there may be an entire room or floor of your St. George home that has mold growth from something more severe such as a broken pipe.
