Common Causes of Mold

The root cause of mold is excess moisture in your home. It’s important to note that mold can grow anywhere. It doesn’t even need light to grow. So, you can find it anywhere that water is leaking. Mostly mold grows in dark places where the humidity is high. Leaking pipes and roofs are among the most common causes for mold growth.

Floods can also create an environment for mold to grow. As the flood water comes into your home and flows into unseen nooks and crannies in your home, mold can find a place to grow and thrive. Any event that causes water damages facilitates the growth of mold. That’s why it’s important that any flood cleanup plan include  mold remediation efforts.

Living in a home where it is not properly ventilated can cause excess moisture to be stuck in your home and can be a cause of mold. You should ensure that your home is well ventilated so that excess moisture flows naturally in and out of your house. Moisture is everywhere. Even in our breath and sweat from our bodies. Without proper flow, it can become trapped in your walls or furniture and cause mold growth.
