Fast facts about mold:

Mold spores are microscopic, and they are everywhere in the world around us. There are countless types of mold, both inside and outside. The tiny spores can get into your home via your home’s HVAC system, open windows, on your clothing, and even on your pets. Some facts to keep in mind include:

• Strong, musty odors are usually a tell-tale sign that mold is developing somewhere within your home. This colony could be in your basement, around bathroom fixtures, under cabinetry, or even behind walls where a hidden pipe leak is lurking.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture and colonize rapidly in the right environment. All mold needs to multiply is moisture, warm temperatures, and an organic food source. 
• Many people may have a hidden mold issue that develops due to poor ventilation or water damage that was not addressed thoroughly.
• The cause of the mold infestation must get handled with any mold cleanup and damage project; otherwise, the mold can come right back.
