Mold can be found in several places in the home environment. It appears most often in moist or wet areas. A musty odor may also be present. Mold begins to grow indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet or damp. Mold will not grow without water or moisture. Therefore, it is important to dry out wet or moist areas within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth.
Some examples of places where mold can be found inside the home include:
Basements, kitchens (bottom of fridge), around bathroom vanities, washer/dryer area.
The underside of carpets and pads.
Surface of walls behind furniture (where condensation forms).
Ceilings and the top side of ceiling tiles.
