WHAT IS MOLD & HOW DOES IT GROW?

Molds are fungi.  Molds grow throughout natural and man-made environments.  They produce
microscopic cells called “spores” which spread easily through the air.  Live spores act like seeds,
forming new mold growths (colonies) when they find the right conditions.  Molds do not require
saturated conditions to grow.  Growth may also occur when high relative humidity and/or the
ability of building surfaces to absorb and retain moisture create similar conditions.  In some cases,
it can take as little as 24 hours for the growth process to begin.  After the source of the moisture
has stopped, it does not mean that the mold has stopped growing.  Once the infiltration of mold
into a property has been confirmed, the property may be valued lower then originally projected.  
The property may also be prevented from being sold until the mold problem is addressed.
