It's green, black, and sometimes white, it's fuzzy, and it grows fast. It's one of the oldest organisms on the planet. And it's every homeowner's nightmare. You guessed it: it's mold.

Mold can be found in pretty much every American household. Typically, it begins growing at 39°F, which is the temperature of most refrigerators, and thrives on dead organic matter. Molds are everywhere and many of them are airborne, however we do not see them with the naked eye until they come together to form colonies. Once the colonies form, they are considered to be one single organism and will grow very quickly.

Obviously, mold needs water to survive. So if there is any place in your home that's cool, damp and dark (such as the basement) that is going to be a center for growth. Many kinds of mold are harmless but there are still others that are allergy pollutants, and if they grow in ducts or near a frequently used plumbing fixture, they pose a health hazard to you and your family.

It is good practice to inspect your home for any areas that might be potential hotspots for mold growth. Leaks will be a common source.
