Typically mold needs three conditions to grow:
1. Moisture – generated by excess indoor humidity, leaks or flooding
2. Food – organic, porous materials such as drywall, wood, grout and wallpaper
3. Optimal temperatures – 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit is the sweet spot for mold growth

To reproduce, colonized mold releases tiny mold spores which float through the air until they attach to a moist indoor surface and multiply.

That’s where the health effects enter the picture. Moldy homes have abnormally high airborne mold spore counts, which reduces indoor air quality and can cause a range of health issues including:

• Watery or itchy eyes
• Sore throat
• Congestion
• Coughing
• Skin irritation
• Asthma
• Respiratory ailments

Most at risk are infants and young children, pregnant women, individuals who have lowered immunities, the elderly and asthma sufferers.
