Where Does House Mold Come From?

Unventilated Areas

• A dark closet next to an exterior wall could be a moldy place. A furnace cabinet or bathroom that is without proper ventilation could be a source of mold as well.

Air Conditioner Systems

• The pipes of an air conditioner and drip pans may be a place where mold could grow.

Wet Clothing

• Sweaty shirts, wet towels and even shoes after a workout may have the potential of bringing mold into a house.

Steamy Areas

• Areas that have a lot of steam in or around them, such as showers, humidifiers and cooking areas, are all subject to mold issues.

Inadequate Drainage Areas Outdoors

• Some places that have poor irrigation or lots of shade that does not allow a watery spot to dry could allow mold to form.

Places With Water Leaks

• Leaky toilets, dishwashers or bathtubs all are places where wet spots and therefore mold might be found.
