How does mold develop in a home?

Mold in a home usually forms when there's too much moisture or water gets in. Here are the main reasons:

Leaky Fixtures: Roofs, windows, pipes, or other parts of the house can leak, bringing in moisture that's perfect for mold growth.
High Humidity: Poor ventilation, especially in humid areas like bathrooms, can lead to moisture buildup, encouraging mold.
Flooding: If there's flooding or water damage, it creates ideal conditions for mold to thrive.
Condensation: Areas with frequent condensation, like poorly insulated windows or walls, provide the moisture needed for mold.
Damp Materials: Mold can grow on materials like wood, paper, or cardboard if they stay damp for a long time.

To prevent mold, it's crucial to fix water issues promptly and ensure proper ventilation.
