Can mold cause structural damage?
Yes! If mold becomes well-established in wood, dry rot can form if the mold dries. Dry rot causes wood to shrink and break up. It siphons moisture, which rots more wood. When mold dries up and “dies”, mold spores remain and will blossom when they become wet. The spores will also move to other areas through air currents or other disturbances. This process repeats itself and eventually causes structural damage to your home or business.
