Understanding How Mold Grows in Homes | SERVPRO® of Flagstaff/East Sedona
When homeowners discover that they have mold, it is extremely dismaying news. Mold can grow anywhere where conditions are right, and if it has been growing long enough, it can spread to hidden places all throughout the home due to centralized air conditioning systems.
Fortunately, with professional mold remediation, you can get mold handled quickly and efficiently so you no longer have to worry about the health of your family.
How Does Mold Grow?
As a natural, organic material, mold spores are present nearly everywhere on the planet—a fact that might be alarming for many people to discover! Mold spores are airborne and can enter into homes through windows, doors or even on pets and clothes, and once they are in the home, they will float around until they find an ideal spot to land and reproduce.
As it is looking for a place to land, keep in mind that mold enjoys places with excessive moisture, so it will often make its home in areas where humidity is high. Basements, places with improperly restored water damage and bathrooms with poor ventilation are just some of the common places we see a mold infestation begin—but once it starts, it can spread quite easily.

Understanding Mold
Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
