Mold can grow in almost every part of the house, but it is commonly found in areas with high moisture and heat levels. Examples of these areas include the kitchen and the bathroom. Mold can also grow in ceilings, walls, and floors around the house—this is frequently the case after your property has been exposed to water damage. When the area remains moist and damp for extended periods, you can expect mold growth to be present anytime soon. (Mold starts to grow within the first 24 to 48 hours after the onset of water damage.)

So, if mold can grow anywhere in the house, it’s safe to assume that mold, when left unchecked and unaddressed, can cause great damage to household materials and therefore cause structural issues. As for the extent of the damage, mold can also affect your property’s HVAC systems, carpeting, drywall, among many others.

Mold can also cause health-related problems, from allergic reactions, cough, and the worsening of already existing symptoms. To protect your property and the health of your family, make sure you regularly schedule a mold inspection with the experts here at AllStarMoldRemoval.com.
