Common Causes of Mold
Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, and HVAC systems. Mold in the air outside can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, bags, and pets and then be carried indoors.
Mold thrives in places with large amounts of moisture, including leaks in roofs, windows, pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.
