Mold is a serious potential health hazard that is lurking in all homes. Mold can trigger allergic reactions causing stuffy sinuses, itchy eyes and skin, difficulty breathing, and fevers. Mold requires moisture to grow, which is why you’re most likely to find it in damp, humid areas.
Plumbing leaks, for example, often trigger mold growth and should be repaired as soon as you find them. Mold infestations can usually be seen or smelled, but they can also remain hidden.
The most common spots for mold to grow undetected are:
⚫️Behind the refrigerator
⚫️Behind the drywall in wall stud spaces that contain plumbing lines
⚫️Under sinks
⚫️In ventilation ducts
If you suspect you have mold, the first step is to perform a thorough visual inspection of your home. Mold thrives on moisture, so pay particular attention to roofs, windows, pipes, attics, laundry areas and bathrooms.
