Windows normally get foggy when it is much warmer in the home than outside. But if you spot fog on the windows when there should not be, this is a warning sign that moisture is gathering in some areas in your house and mold is growing there.
2. Stains.

It is the most obvious symptom. Black mold manifests itself in gross-looking grayish or blackish stains in different places. The most typical places to discover these stains are on stucco, on windowsills, on tile grout.
You can find it under wallpaper and carpets too.
3. Dusty vents. If you see a puff coming out of the vents after you turn on your heat, it may be a symptom there is mold inside it.
How to remove black mold:
1. Consult with an expert. If you notice some stains or find a musty odor, consult with a professional. Different types of mold require different kinds of treatment and only a professional expert can tell you what you need.
2. Remove any mold you find. If you see mold, remove it. Wear rubber gloves and a mask during the process. Scrub the affected area with mold-killing cleaning solutions and change your sponges to get rid of it effectively.
3. Buy air filters. Buy some air filters to fight against mold in your vents. They will keep spores out of your living area.
4. Fix leaks. Black mold needs moisture to grow, so inspect your house to find any leaks, then fix them as soon as possible.
5. Get a professional cleaning. Sadly, but black mold requires a professional touch. If you know exactly that there is a mold problem in your house, you need professional help.
