Is Mold Making You Sick? Warning Signs Oceanside Homeowners Shouldn't Ignore

Is Mold Making You Sick? Warning Signs Oceanside Homeowners Shouldn't Ignore

Many homeowners in Oceanside don’t realize that the source of their constant sniffles, fatigue, or headaches could be hidden mold. With the city's coastal humidity and older homes, conditions are perfect for mold growth—especially after unseen water damage.

Here’s how to tell if mold is affecting your health and what to do about it.

Health Symptoms Linked to Mold Exposure

Prolonged mold exposure can cause a range of health issues, especially in children, seniors, and anyone with asthma or allergies:

• Chronic coughing or sneezing indoors

• Itchy eyes or skin irritation

• Sinus pressure or headaches

• Fatigue or brain fog

• Worsening asthma symptoms

If these issues seem to improve when you’re outside the home, mold could be the cause.

Where Mold Grows in Oceanside Homes

Even a small leak can lead to mold, especially in:

• Under-sink cabinets

• HVAC systems and vents

• Behind drywall or wallpaper

• Laundry rooms and bathrooms

• Crawlspaces or under flooring

What to Do If You Suspect Mold

Don't try to cover it up with air fresheners or paint. Mold needs to be professionally identified, contained, and removed—especially in a coastal climate where spores can spread fast.
