One subject that is often in the news today and frequently creates a
measure of panic is about the subject matter of MOLD in the home. Some
climates seem to create more of a mold problem than others. For example,
I know I’ve lived where mold can grow at an alarming rate. You might
see a little of it today and within a few months to a year you will
notice a dramatic increase and the cost of removal can be a real
challenge to pay for.
According to the Washington State
Department of Health, “Mold is often found in areas where water has
damaged building materials and furniture from flooding or plumbing
leaks. Mold can also be found growing along walls where warm moist air
condenses on cooler wall surfaces, such as inside cold exterior walls,
behind dressers, headboards, and in closets where articles are stored
against walls. Mold often grows in rooms with both high water usage and
humidity, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. If
you notice mold or know of water damaged areas in your home, it is time
to take action to control its growth.”
