Outdoor Massachusetts mold can travel into a home by releasing mold spores into the air that then enter open windows and doorways, or ventilation, air conditioning or heating systems that circulate outdoor air. Massachusetts mold spores may also latch onto people and pets, which carry the mold indoors.
Mold relies on a source of moisture in order to grow. Moisture may be present due to water damage, water leaks, excessive humidity, condensation, flooding, or other water infiltration. These conditions generally arise from Massachusetts property defects, Massachusetts buildings in poor repair, storms and high levels of humidity. In damp environments, Massachusetts mold spores that have entered the home may grow on:
- Massachusetts carpet
- Massachusetts furniture
- Massachusetts insulation
- Massachusetts paint
- Massachusetts wood
- Massachusetts paper
- Massachusetts cardboard
- Massachusetts ceiling tiles
- Massachusetts dust
- Massachusetts wallpaper
- Massachusetts drywall
- Massachusetts carpet
- Massachusetts drapes
Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Alternaria and Penicillium are the most common types of indoor Massachusetts molds. Mold reproduces by creating mold spores, which travel through the air, land on moist substrate and expand over moist material. Their rate of growth depends on many factors, including the substrate, temperature and amount of moisture.
Luckily, there are many simple measures that you can take to reduce sources of moisture and prevent the growth of mold in your Massachusetts home. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about Massachusetts toxic mold illness and prevention.
