Understanding Mold: What Is It and Why Is It Dangerous?
Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in moist environments. While some molds are harmless, others can pose serious health risks and cause significant property damage. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, exposure to mold can lead to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems.
Common Causes of Mold Growth
Understanding the common causes of mold can help you prevent it:
Water Leaks: Leaky pipes, roofs, or windows introduce moisture.
High Humidity: Humidity levels above 60% encourage mold growth.
Flooding: Water damage from floods provides an ideal environment.
Poor Ventilation: Inadequate airflow traps moisture indoors.
Learn more about moisture control from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Signs Your Home May Have Mold
Visible Growth: Black, green, or white spots on walls, ceilings, or floors.
Musty Odor: A persistent, unpleasant smell.
Water Damage: Stains or discoloration on surfaces.
Health Symptoms: Allergies, asthma attacks, or respiratory issues when at home.
