What Causes Mold
|
To understand what causes mold, one must
understand that mold spores are all around us in the
air. When a leak or other source causes water
or moisture to accumulate in a dark area such as a
wall or vent, mold can start to grow. In some
substrates that absorb and hold water, mold tends to
thrive if water is present.
Many of the building materials used in our homes,
schools and offices are excellent mediums for holding
moisture and promoting the growth of mold.
Carpet, wood and drywall all hold water when exposed
to leaking pipes, leaking roofs, or faulty
condensation collectors. Poor maintenance or
faulty plumbing can easily lead to severe mold
infestations in walls and ductwork. Mold spores
in the air are what causes mold but without moisture
retention, mold growth cannot start and become a
problem.
