What makes mold grow?

Unfortunately, mold only needs a few things to grow and multiply.

• Nutrients (food)
• Habitable locations 
• Moisture

Many building materials such as wood and sheetrock provide food that supports mold growth. Even dust that has settled on these materials or furniture can be a food source for mold. Additionally, mold can grow almost anywhere there is enough moisture or humidity. That’s why buildings in states like Florida are particularly susceptible to mold growth. Controlling moisture is the key to stopping indoor mold growth, but this can be a challenge without proper guidance from a Florida mold expert.
