Signs of a Possible Mold Infestation

Shawn Folks • February 16, 2022

Mold can be sneaky and devastating, taking a toll not only on the structure it inhabits, but on the health of those exposed to it as well. While the thought of mold may suggest images of obvious black splotches on the walls, its presence is not always so readily obvious. Although subtle, there are often still clues that mold may be present in your home or business. If you have had a previous water event, such as flooding, burst pipes, or a leak, there stands a strong likelihood that mold exists within your walls.


So, how can you be sure that your residence of place of business is free and clear from mold? Step one is to be aware of the tell-tale clues left behind, such as those in the infographic below.

Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. No matter what it brings, you can be assured that our team at Guarantee Restoration Services will be there when you need us most. Meet the Team: Marcela Argueta Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase our many awesome team members. For July, we are shining the spotlight on Marcela Argueta , who serves as a Lead Technician at our New Orleans location. She was promoted to that position in January 2025 . From Honduras to GRS Marcela was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras , also known as “la novia de Honduras” —which translates to “the bride of Honduras.” She moved to the U.S. in December 2016 after earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras . Marcela is currently approved and ready to take her exam to become a registered nurse in the U.S. Before joining our team in August 2022 , she worked as both a nurse and a homemaker . Life Outside of Work Marcela is a proud mother of two—her son, Sebastian (15) and daughter, Eleanor (5) . When she’s not working, she loves spending quality time with her children and extended family. Fun fact: her half-sister, Brenda , also works at GRS in our Baton Rouge office! One of Marcela’s favorite pastimes is going for walks in the park. She says she often uses this time to meditate and reflect—thinking about what she’s done well and what she could improve.
