WHERE MOULD CAN BE FOUND
Mould comprises a wide range of microorganisms, with over 1.5 million different species. These mould spores are omnipresent in both outdoor and indoor environments due to their small size and ability to spread easily through wind, floods, insects, animals, and human activity. Inside buildings, mould typically thrives in areas with high humidity, sufficient moisture, appropriate temperatures, and a suitable substrate. Common indoor locations where mould is often found include bathrooms, attics, basements, and crawl spaces. Mould can grow on various building materials, including:
- Drywall
- Ceiling tiles
- Wood
- Wallpaper
- Wood products
- Carpeting
Preventing mould growth in these areas requires addressing moisture issues promptly. Ensure your space is well-ventilated and keep an eye on potential problem spots, such as leaks around windows, plumbing issues, and damp areas on carpets, walls, or ceilings.
