Places Where Mold Contamination is Difficult to See

Mold is a common phenomenon for homeowners and businesses. At first glance, it might not look harmful, but it has the potential to lead to health hazards and difficulty. It can also damage various structures of your home or business. The physical and financial toll of mold can be significant.

One of the more difficult aspects can be now knowing where mold is growing. Basements, crawl spaces, darker, less ventilated areas, behind walls, insulation, damp isolated areas where a leak could be occurring, and more can hide mold growth. If you know places prone of mold growth, you can take steps for mold remediation and cleanup. All American Cleaning & Restoration is your concealed mold expert when you can’t see where the problem lies.

Common Hiding Places For Mold Growth

Some places are more vulnerable to mold growth than others places. Common mold hiding places include:

• Basements: You should start here. The basement tends to be wet. If your basement has flooded recently, then seeking expert advice is recommended. Floors made with concrete are an excellent place for mold to grow, and similar goes for the corners of walls. If the ground is cooler than humid air, it leads to condensation, creating moisture and mold.
• Crawl spaces: Typically, the mold in your crawl space area is fed by dust and needs moisture to survive. It is advisable to check it occasionally to ensure that it is cleaned properly. Take a close look at the corners, walls, ceiling, and floors, you may find some mold.
• Air conditioners: An ideal mold source that’s often forgotten. The condensate drain pan of the air conditioner, cooling coil. air circulation blower, AC cabinet insulation, and internal insulation duct liners are main areas where mold can form. Check those parts for mold contamination.
