Have you ever noticed that your home smells a little funky? Or perhaps you’ve seen some water stains on the ceiling or walls that don’t seem to be going away. These are both signs that your house might have mold growing in it. 

Molds are microscopic organisms found everywhere around us. You may unknowingly bring them into homes through open windows and doors, cracks in foundation walls, or even the clothing we wear.

If left untreated, mold can cause serious health issues like watery eyes, respiratory problems, headaches, and flu-like symptoms. In this article, we’ll discuss where molds tend to grow inside our homes so that you know what areas to inspect when looking for signs of mold growth.

Bathroom

As with the other areas in your home, mold can grow on surfaces in the bathroom. It’s important to be vigilant and check for signs of mold growth in these places regularly.

When Should You Hire A Roofing Company For Hail Damage Repair?

Pro tips for bathroom refurbishments

  • Shower curtains and tile.
  • Sinks and faucets.
  • Bathtubs, whirlpools, and showers.

Mold can also grow in the ceiling above a shower or bathtub due to moisture seeping through it and in walls behind toilets where there is water damage from leaks or flooding (if you notice a musty smell).

Basement

Basements are damp, dark, and cool—perfect conditions for mold to grow. If you have a basement in your home, look for signs of mold. The next place to look is the ceiling and walls. You can find mold growing on both surfaces, especially if there has been water damage or leaks in the past.

If you see any discoloration or growths on your basement’s walls or ceiling, it’s a sign that there may be an infestation of mold somewhere in that area. 

You should also check out other areas of your basement, such as places where furniture is stored. This is because they could also become infested with fungus over time if they are exposed to moisture at all times (and basements usually are).

Kitchen

Mold can also grow behind your refrigerators, stoves, and dishwashers. The moisture trapped in these areas provides an ideal environment for mold to flourish. If you want a thorough cleaning of your kitchen appliances, consider hiring professional mold testing in Milton.

Mold growth may also occur underneath cabinets or under countertops damaged due to water leaks or other sources of water damage within kitchens. 

You’ll want someone experienced with this kind of work so they know exactly where there might be hidden problems such as rot spots around doors hinges which could lead them into contact with dangerous moisture levels if not treated quickly enough.

Ducts

Ducts are another common place for mold to grow. It can cause health problems, including allergies and asthma, respiratory issues like wheezing or coughing, skin problems including rashes or hives, eye problems like conjunctivitis (pink eye), and even corneal abrasions in extreme cases. 

Contact mold testing Milton for a thorough inspection if you’ve been experiencing these symptoms for a while now.

Ceiling and Attic

An attic is a great place for mold to grow. The insulation can be a perfect home for mold, and it’s often moistened by rain or condensation from the air ducts. You may find that the spaces around your ceiling light fixtures also get wet from time to time.

Final Word

What you can do to prevent mold is pretty simple. Keep your home well-ventilated, ensure no leaks, and repair any plumbing issues immediately. You should also check periodically for mold in places where it might be hard to see, like behind appliances or walls. 

If you find any mold growing inside your house, it’s important to get rid of it quickly so that it doesn’t spread throughout the building.
