Mold, explained
What is mold?
Mold is a fungus found both indoors and outdoors. No one knows how many species exist, but estimates range from tens of thousands to perhaps three hundred thousand or more. Mold spreads and reproduces by making spores, which can survive conditions too sunny, hot, cold, dry, or wet for mold to grow. Released spores are carried by air or water to new locations.
Where does mold come from?
Molds thrive in moist environments created by a flood, slow leak, broken pipe, or just high humidity. Without water, mold cannot grow. It also needs a food source, oxygen, and a temperature between 40 and 100 degrees F.
How does mold spread?
To grow and reproduce, molds only need an organic food source, such as the cellulose found in building materials like wood and drywall.
Are there warning signs to look for?
Dark spots on your ceiling, floors, or walls are a sure sign of mold growth. Musty odors and mildew often mean mold may be growing. Coughing, sneezing, trouble breathing, and wheezing are common indicators too, as are high humidity levels such as condensation on glass and metal surfaces.
