Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Mold grows quickly. It typically begins to grow on drywall about 24 hours after exposure to moisture or humidity. Drywall is a porous material, which makes it particularly hospitable to mold growth. 

While mold growth begins after just a day or so, it can take a few weeks before the evidence becomes visible. Mold spores will typically appear on the drywall surface within three weeks of growth starting.

Black mold and wood rot are both types of fungi that form in damp or wet areas, but they cause different problems. Black mold grows on the surface of wood or other materials, while wood rot affects the structure of the wood material. Additionally, inhaling or contacting toxic black mold spores can make people sick. Wood rot spores are not known to cause illness in humans. 

Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth after water damage is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.

Mildew and mold are not different—mildew is a specific type of mold and yes, it can become dangerous if left untreated. It would be amazing if we were all biochemists but because we most likely aren’t, it isn’t wise to assume any mold is mildew on sight alone. Harmless mold and toxigenic mold (which can be deadly) look very similar, so if you see any new mold that looks even a little suspect, call a mold professional immediately.

Bathroom mold tends to reappear due to the persistent presence of moisture and humidity, creating the ideal conditions for its growth. Since bathrooms are inherently humid environments, without proper ventilation, moisture accumulates on surfaces, providing a continuous food source for mold spores. Mold spores are present in the air and settle on damp surfaces to start growing rapidly. Additionally, if the underlying causes of mold, such as plumbing leaks or inadequate sealing, are not addressed, mold will return even after removal. To avoid recurring issues, addressing the root cause by improving ventilation, fixing leaks, and maintaining a dry bathroom environment through regular cleaning and maintenance is essential.
