Mold Facts…
- Molds are found EVERYWHERE, and can grow on almost any substance when moisture is present.
- They reproduce by spores, which are carried by air currents.
- When spores land on a moist surface suitable for life, they begin to grow.
- Mold is normally found indoors at levels which do not affect most healthy individuals.
- Spores can germinate after 12 hours in some conditions and some grow in 24-48 hours.
- Houses offer an ample food supply for mold growth: drywall, wood, insulation and paper.
- When these materials get damp or wet, settled spores can become growing molds.
- Mold may colonize in 1 to 12 days depending on the type of Mold.
