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.
