Mold
can be a very challenging problem to deal with in a home. Because
mold is caused by living mold spores, proper eradication, and
treatment are essential to ensure mold does not continue to grow.
Where
Mold Grows Inside a Home
Mold
can grow in almost any area of a home. The most typical areas are
places where water has penetrated the building materials. Bathrooms
and basements are notorious areas for mold growth. However, it is not
uncommon to find mold in the attic of a home as well. Because water
can seep into roof tiles that are damaged, sub roofing materials can
become damp, and mold can begin to grow.
Why
Mold Grows in Homes
Because
mold can grow on a wide variety of materials, including wood, carpet,
vinyl flooring, sheetrock, and roof tiles, a home is a perfect host
for mold spores to replicate. It may start from a continuous water
leak that goes unnoticed, roof tiles that have separated from the
main roof system, flooded bathrooms, broken water heaters, washers,
dishwashers, or toilets. Mold can also be caused by excessive
rainstorm flooding into basements or other areas of the home.
Once
the water is released into the home and onto building materials,
growth can begin after a day or two if not adequately dried out. Mold
is a health hazard, and once it spreads onto more extensive surface
areas of building materials, it should be removed by a professional
mold removal company.
