Common Causes of Mold Growth

High Relative Humidity

Relative Humidity (RH) is the amount of moisture in the air relative to the temperature. When RH exceeds approximately 65%, there is enough moisture in the air for mold to grow.

Common Affected Spaces in the Home

  • Crawl Space Mold - Vented and untreated crawl spaces in humid climates (i.e., Georgia)
  • Basement Mold - Spaces that are below grade, especially unconditioned basements
  • Bathroom Mold - Inadequate ventilation in bathrooms following showering can promote the proliferation of fungal growth.

Mold & Moisture FAQs

What is mold?

Mold is a microscopic fungus that is part of the natural environment. Mold is all around us, indoors and outdoors. It is a necessary part of our ecosystem. While mold is necessary in the outdoor world, too much mold inside a structure can be dangerous and unsanitary. Mold reproduces through spores that float freely in the air. Once these spores land on a moist surface in the right conditions, mold will begin to grow.

How do I prevent mold from growing inside my home?

In order to understand how to prevent mold, it's important to understand how mold grows. Mold requires 3 things to grow:

  • Oxygen
  • An organic substance to feed on
  • Sufficient Moisture

Of the three listed above, the only variable that can be adequately controlled is Moisture. The most effective way to prevent mold to grow is to control the amount of moisture within your home.

Why are basements & crawl spaces more likely to have mold growth?

Basements and crawlspaces are more susceptible to mold growth because they are below grade, meaning that they are surrounded by Earth below and on at least one side. Basements and crawlspaces often have higher relative humidity because the air temperature is cooler below grade and ultimately does not hold as much moisture as air above grade.

What are common health effects from having mold in a home?

For people who suffer with allergies, mold can trigger allergic reactions and other symptoms such as watery nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, itching, difficulty with breathing, fatigue, and even inflammatory response. The more exposure you have to mold over time, the more severe reactions and symptoms can become. It's important to have mold removed immediately and properly to avoid further issues by eliminating mold growth in your home.
