Mold has a way of appearing in specific areas of a home!
Mold is notorious for hiding out in dark, moist places of a home. In fact, mold needs moisture to develop and grow. There are a wide array of common locations for mold to linger in a home. Here are some of the more familiar places that mold will manage to find its way in when the conditions are conducive for its growth.
Basements Or Cellars That Have Been Flooded
Typically, mold needs excess moisture to develop and grow. In fact, having proper ventilation in a home is important to reduce a home’s chance of developing mold. However, whenever a home suffers from any sort of flood, the risk for developing mold increases significantly.
Underneath Kitchen And Bathroom Sinks
Again, wherever there is a source of moisture in a home, mold will commonly find its way there. In fact, checking under the bathroom and kitchen sinks of your home can allow you to really see whether or not your home is suffering from a mold hazard issue or not. As a result, if you do end up finding mold under your sink whether it be in a bathroom or a kitchen, be sure to contact a professional mold remediator who can eliminate the mold and help you prevent it from coming back.
Underneath Or Behind Refrigerators
Sometimes, mold sneaks its way into the most unassuming of places. In fact, mold can often be found hiding out under your fridge or even behind it. Therefore, it is essential that homeowners take the time to clean their refrigerators regularly and check behind the fridge for any food particles that may have migrated back there.
Behind Walls That House Plumbing
A plumbing leak can be a costly expense even without the presence of mold. But when a plumbing leak goes unfixed, the damage could be severe. Homeowners need to pay extra special attention to any plumbing leaks that occur inside the walls. Mold tends to grow wherever there is an excess of moisture like a leaky pipe. WHen the leak occurs inside of the wall, mold will soon follow.
