MOLD IN HOME ST LOUIS
Are you worried that you may have mold in your home? Don’t worry, ABC Environmental Contracting Services Of St. Louis will help explain how mold grows, where mold most often is found, as well as some of its signs and causes. Mold can grow on almost any structure in the rooms of a home. Structures can include the walls, windows and frames, ceilings, floors, insulation, air ducts & HVAC units, pieces of furniture, on your clothing, and especially on various building materials in the basement.
HOW DOES MOLD GROW ON WALLS & WINDOWS?
One major cause of mold growing on walls is condensation. Hidden water leaks and high percentages of humidity also contribute to mold spreading. When water vapor in the air combines with a cold surface, liquid water is formed. Condensation most often occurs on the walls on the exterior layer of a home (walls bordering the outside). It also easily forms on windows and frames for the same reason. Depending on where you live and what season it is, the difference in temperatures between the outside and inside can increase the chances of condensation occurring more frequently.
