Where Does Mold Typically Grow?
Black mold can grow anywhere inside your home; however, mold growth is triggered by an increase in humidity. Still, mold can germinate and grow within 12 hours in the right environment. You may find mold in the following areas:
- Window sills – Poor insulation and broken seals can cause moisture and humidity to mix, resulting in mold to grow around window sills.
- Ceilings – Roof leaks are usually the culprit when mold starts growing on the ceiling. You may notice water damage first, and then black spots forming.
- Behind walls – Similar to mold in ceilings, plumbing leaks or burst pipes behind walls are known to cause mold growth.
- Grout – Tile grout is a common area you’ll find mold, especially in the bathroom, where moisture and humidity are abundant.
- Wood – Untreated wood is susceptible to black mold, which can weaken the wood and cause structural damage.
