Common Mold Locations in Your Home or Business

9/16/2022 (Permalink)

Mold spores are constantly floating around just about everywhere. As a result of this, and given the right conditions, mold may show up in your home or business at any time. Even if you maintain a general level of cleanliness around your property, mold will still find the conditions it needs to survive and spread.

Bathroom

• Anywhere there is moisture, mold can be present
• Check your shower, this means grout, any products, small spaces, or above the shower area
• Under your sink, you may not notice that a pipe has started to leak creating a perfect environment for mold
• Leaking in your shower or bathtub may also go unnoticed and cause mold to grow beneath these items

Living Room

• Check for mold under carpets, spilled drinks or food can offer mold a prime place for growth
• Window seals, water may become trapped and give mold an ideal environment for growth
• Brickwork, an exposed chimney or other brickwork can allow moisture to be trapped in between bricks, giving rise to mold growth

Kitchen

• Your fridge may be hiding mold under, or behind it
• Garbage can will often have moisture and plenty of food for mold to thrive on, check the container and lid for mold growth
