Mold is a creepy and usually oblivious issue for your home. Unfortunately, it can do more than simply spread and look hideous. As a matter of fact, mold spores can lead to chronic sinus issues, asthma attacks, fungal infections, and allergic reactions. The problems can also include depression and fatigue.
Mildew and mold can grow over time in dark, damp, and poorly ventilated areas. They are naturally occurring microorganisms that are present everywhere in our homes. However, if the mold in your home surpasses normal levels, it can impact the health and well-being of your loved ones, your belongings, and your home’s structure.
Understanding Mold
Microscopic mold spores are present almost everywhere, inside and outside your home. Because of this, it’s impossible to remove all mold from a home. Here are some unknown mold-related facts that you should know:
- Mold spores are invisible and float along in the air, and can enter inside your home through doors, windows, or heating/AC systems.
- Mold spores flourish on moisture. Mold spores can swiftly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
- Before starting mold remediation, all sources of moisture and water need to be addressed. Otherwise, the mold can return.
- Mold usually produces a nasty, musty smell and can result in a potential mold issue.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can facilitate mold growth. Ideally, indoor humidity should be lower than 60 percent.
Where Does Mold Grow?
Mold can grow on many porous surfaces where there is stagnant, damp air. Even though it prefers temperatures higher than 70 degrees, it can even grow in cold temperatures. This is why it can even grow in refrigerators. However, mostly it is found in the places mentioned below:
- Drywall and wallpaper
- Ceiling tiles and ductwork
- Drapes, furniture, and carpet
- Crawlspaces, basements, and attics
- Magazines and books ( anything made of organic or paper material).
