What causes mold to develop in the home?
Mold will develop and multiply under precise conditions. The spores only require sufficient moisture to reproduce (e.g. very high humidity, condensation or water from a leaking pipe, etc.). Organic material (e.g. wood, ceiling tile, drywall, paper or natural fiber carpet padding), all provide the perfect environment for mold to grow. Extensive mold contamination and exposure to the toxin may contribute to health problems.
