Mold isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a serious health hazard. It can develop rapidly, often within 48 hours of moisture exposure, and release allergens that might lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, chronic sinus problems, or exacerbate asthma and allergies. Those with weakened immune systems or pets are especially at risk.
What Causes Mold to Grow?
- Water leaks: Even minor leaks from pipes, roofs, or HVAC systems create ideal mold habitats.
- Flooding or basement water: Basements frequently flood after heavy rain, spring thaw, or winter ice dams—and mold can flourish within days.
- Poor ventilation & humidity: High indoor humidity (over 50–60%) from cooking, bathrooms, or clogged gutters can lead to moisture accumulation and mold growth.
- Condensation: Cold surfaces like windows, pipes, or cellar walls can trap moisture that supports mold development.
