What is Mold?

Mold is a fungus that can be found in damp or wet areas. It is made up of spores which will reproduce and spread. Mold grows rapidly on damp or decaying matter.

What Causes Mold?

Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, and pets can and be carried indoors.

Unfortunately, many building materials provide suitable nutrients that encourage mold to grow. These materials include, ceiling tiles, wood, and wood products, wallpaper, insulation materials, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery can support mold growth.

How does it affect you?

People with allergies may be more sensitive to molds. People with immune suppression or underlying lung disease are more susceptible to fungal infections. Individuals with chronic respiratory disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, asthma) may experience difficulty breathing. Seek medical consultation if you are experiencing any of these symptoms and have been exposed to mold.
