Where Does Mold Come From?

Mold grows best in warm, damp, and humid conditions. It spreads by making microscopic spores that are airborne.

  • Mold can grow in as little as 48 hours.
  • Molds thrive in moist environments created by a flood, slow leak, broken pipe or just high humidity.
  • Mold needs a food source, such as wood or drywall, oxygen and a temperature between 40-100 degrees F to grow
