What Causes Mold Growth?

Mold thrives on moisture. When humidity levels are high, or there is water leaking somewhere in your house, you can bet that mold will develop. Surface mold is easy to clean. You simply spray bleach or mold killer on the mold, and it will go away. Black mold, however, often grows in places that you can’t see. For instance, there may be high levels of mold growing behind the walls, underneath the house or up in the attic area. Mold also grows in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms - anywhere water is present.

Mold in Your HVAC System

Your most significant concern should be if mold is growing in your HVAC system. If so, the blower in the unit is circulating mold spores throughout your house. The spores land in different areas such as window sills, baseboards, and behind furniture. Some of the spores are re-distributed back into the HVAC unit and then circulated back into the back home. Over time, the mold can build up and cause health problems. If you already have health conditions such allergies or asthma, the mold could be aggravating it.
