What Rooms Are At Risk For Mold?
Topics: water, damage, restoration, mold, flood, bathroom, kitchen
Mold is one of the worst things that you can allow to be in your home, but it’s a lot more common than you might think. Almost every room in your home has mold spores of some kind in it, but it is when the mold spores begin to grow and form a colony do you have a problem. It is common to have mold spores in your home, but there are a few rooms that are more pre-disposed to the problem than others.
Mold growth is most commonly found in the bathroom of a home, since it is one of the most humid areas in the home. The reason for this is that when a family shares a bathroom, it is often the case that they do not allow the bathroom to dry out after bathing or showering. When you shower, steam builds up around the ceiling and upper walls and if there is no outlet for the steam to escape to the outside of the home through, it causes mold growth. Mold growth usually appears on the ceiling and walls as discolorations which will vary in color.
Everyone forgets and lets the bathtub overflow from time to time, but this can also cause water damage and mold growth to the floor if it is allowed to happen too often. One of the worst things that you could have in your bathroom is carpet, since every time you step out of the bathtub you get it wet.
The kitchen is also a prime location for mold growth, especially around the stove where steam can collect if there is no vent to allow it out of the room. Any spills of water need to be cleaned up immediately. Water leaks from under the sink can cause water damage and mold growth in the cabinet. Dishwashers can also malfunction and flood the kitchen floor, so maintaining your dishwasher is also a priority.
It is also quite possible that your laundry room could contain mold in a few different places. Mold likes to stay where the moisture is, so if your washing machine is in good working order, you may want to look at the ceiling because of the humidity that your dryer causes when you run it. There should also be a steam vent in this room, even though you are not likely to see your washing machine or dryer put out steam.
