🦠 Ten Things You Should Know About Mold Growth

  1. 💧 Mold Needs Moisture to Thrive — Leaks, high humidity, or water damage create perfect mold-growing conditions. Fix moisture problems first to stop mold at the source.
  2. ⏱️ It Can Start Growing in 24–48 Hours — After a water incident, mold spores can begin to colonize quickly — early cleanup is essential.
  3. 🌬️ Mold is Everywhere — Mold spores are naturally present indoors and outdoors; the problem is when they find damp, unventilated spots to multiply.
  4. 🤧 Health Risks are Real — Mold can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory irritation — especially in children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems.
  5. 🏚️ It Loves Hidden Spaces — Mold often hides in walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, and under flooring where leaks or condensation occur.
  6. ⚫ Not All Mold is Black Mold — Stachybotrys (“black mold”) gets a lot of attention, but other types can be just as harmful if left untreated.
  7. 🧴 Bleach Isn’t Always the Answer — While bleach can remove surface stains, it doesn’t always penetrate porous materials — making professional remediation important.
  8. 🌡️ Moisture Control is the Key to Prevention — Use dehumidifiers, fix leaks promptly, and improve ventilation to keep humidity below 50%.
  9. 🛠️ Drywall and Insulation May Need Removal — If mold penetrates these materials, replacing them is often the safest and most effective option.
  10. 👷 Professional Help Can Save Time and Money — Experts have the tools, training, and protective gear to locate and remove mold safely, preventing it from coming back.
