Mold

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. Mold is found everywhere in the environment, and it can grow on almost any substance when moisture is present. Mold reproduces by releasing spores, which are small, lightweight cells that can be carried by air, water, or insects. When spores land on a damp surface, they can begin to grow and form new mold colonies.

Mold is often associated with damp and poorly ventilated buildings, and it can cause a range of health problems, including allergies and respiratory issues. It is important to control moisture levels in your home and to promptly address any water leaks or standing water to prevent the growth of mold. If you suspect that you have a mold problem, it is best to have it professionally assessed and remediated to ensure that the problem is thoroughly addressed.
