Introduction to Molds
Molds produce tiny spores to
reproduce. Mold spores waft
through the indoor and
outdoor air continually.
When mold spores land on a
damp spot indoors, they may
begin growing and digesting
whatever they are growing on
in order to survive. There
are molds that can grow on
wood, paper, carpet, and
foods. When excessive
moisture or water
accumulates indoors, mold
growth will often occur,
particularly if the moisture
problem remains undiscovered
or un-addressed. There is no
practical way to eliminate
all molds and mold spores in
the indoor environment; the
way to control indoor mold
growth is to control
moisture.
