Causes of Mold
- Flood
- Leaks
- Humidity
What Causes Mold Growth?
- Warm temperatures – Molds grow enthusiastically in warm environments, with temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit as the sweet spot.
- High humidity – Indoor relative humidity levels 70 percent and above are a major stimulant for mold growth.
- Condensation – Condensation forms because of differences between air temperature and surface temperatures in a space.
- Inadequate ventilation – Less air movement means less drying, inadequate humidity control, and fewer disturbances to mold growth.
- Damp building materials – Building materials can become damp for a variety of reasons. In some cases, building materials are not properly dried after a water event.
Types of Mold
- Acremonium-This type of mold is classified as toxinogenic. It starts as a small moist mold that turns into a fine, powdered substance often colored pink, white, grey, or orange
- Alternaria -They are commonly found in bathrooms and bathtubs, as well as underneath leaking sinks.
- Aspergillus -It is the most common mold found in most American households. Although an allergenic, it is capable of developing into a more toxic mold depending on the environment.

How Does Mold Spread
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
