Keeping your home safe and healthy is essential, and mold growth can pose serious risks to both your property and your well-being. Mold thrives in damp, humid environments and can spread quickly if left untreated. At SERVPRO, we specialize in mold damage restoration to ensure your home is clean, safe, and mold-free.

Common Places Mold Grows in Your Home

Mold can develop in various areas of your home, often in places you may not immediately notice. Here are some of the most common areas where mold can thrive:

• Bathrooms – The combination of moisture, heat, and poor ventilation makes bathrooms a prime spot for mold growth. Check around showers, bathtubs, sinks, and even behind wallpaper or tiles.
• Basements & Crawl Spaces – These areas tend to be damp and poorly ventilated, creating an ideal environment for mold. Look for mold on walls, ceilings, and floors, especially in corners and near pipes.
• Kitchens – Leaks under sinks, around refrigerators, or near dishwashers can lead to mold growth. Mold can also form on food that has been left out too long or in neglected cabinets.
• Attics – Poor ventilation and roof leaks can lead to mold growth on insulation, wooden beams, and drywall. If your attic has high humidity, mold can spread rapidly.
• Laundry Rooms – Washing machines and dryers create humidity, and leaks in water supply lines or drain hoses can provide the moisture mold needs to thrive.
• HVAC Systems & Air Ducts – Mold spores can spread through your home’s air ducts, impacting indoor air quality. If you notice a musty odor when your HVAC system runs, mold could be present.
