Mold and mildew have long been enemies of homeowners as the fungal growth can cause a health hazard to you and your family. If mold is left to grow to elevated levels it can also damage the structure of your home. These microscopic organisms can flourish and live anywhere in the house where there is dampness. This includes basements, attics, bathrooms, crawlspaces, kitchens, and even bedrooms. It is also often found in concrete foundations, drywall, plaster finishes, ceilings, around windows, and on windowsills.
Mold can thrive just about anywhere indoors and outdoors and it’s not usually visible to the naked eye because the spores are even smaller than particles of dust. However, under certain conditions, it becomes visible. Mold relies on two important elements to grow: a source of moisture and the absence of flowing air. If these conditions exist in your home it is possible mold will begin to grow and spread within days.
There are many different types of molds, all of which typically consist of threadlike filaments that penetrate the surface on which it grows. Some types of mold aren’t as harmful as other types. The most dangerous form of mold is the highly toxic greenish-black mold, Stachybotrys chartarum. It can grow on any material in your home that has a high cellulose content including gypsum board and fiberboard.
