MOISTURE GUIDE
What Causes Mold in a Home?
Moisture is the central condition behind indoor mold growth. Mold spores are common in the environment, but growth occurs when they land on suitable damp materials.
Common moisture sources
Plumbing leaks, roof leaks, flooding, exterior water entry, condensation and sustained high humidity can all create conditions for growth.
Why recurrence happens
Cleaning an affected surface without correcting the water or humidity problem can allow the same materials to become damp again.
