Top Causes of Mold
in the Home
Here are a few common household issues that can
spur an unwanted visit from this fuzzy intruder.
LEAKING PIPES AND
APPLIANCES
CONDENSATION AROUND
AIR VENTS AND AIR
CONDITIONING UNITS
PERSISTENT HUMIDITY
Washing machines, dishwashers, and under-
sink plumbing can begin to leak water over
time. If you don’t notice it soon enough or fail
to react quickly, moldy spores may appear.
Because the leaks tend to happen in non-
ventilated areas with no natural fresh air, a
mold problem can spread quickly.
Living in a humid area means having
to take extra care with air circulation
and ventilation in the home. Attics are
particularly prone to humidity-born
mold because they tend to get
forgotten.
UNATTENDED DAMPNESS
If anything is left damp around the house for too
long, it can lead to mold. Clothing, upholstery,
carpets, floor boards, drywall, and more can
provide havens for spores to multiply. Whether
your home is damp because of storm or flood
damage, a leaking roof, burst pipes, or anything
else: do not leave affected areas to fix themselves!
CONCLUSION
Mold is natural and appears in most
homes sooner or later, but it shouldn’t
be left to get out of hand. Looking out
for these common causes can help you
stay ahead of the spores and keep your
home happy and healthy.
When air regulation systems don’t run as
they should, a condensation build-up can
appear in and around the vents. This
dampness creates a perfect breeding
ground for mold spores. Mold in vents can
be dangerous as the system could be
spreading it into the air. Get it checked
immediately if you have suspicions.
