Mold Growing in Unexpected Places in Springfield Homes?
5/7/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams are leaders in mold damage remediation services, and share the following unusual places where mold can thrive:
HVAC Systems: Mold can spread through heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, particularly if moisture builds up in ducts or filters.
Clothes and Shoes: Mold can grow on clothes and shoes if damp for extended periods, especially in dark closets.
Toys and Stuffed Animals: Children's toys and stuffed animals can harbor mold if not properly cleaned and dried.
Books and Paper Documents: Mold can grow on books and paper documents if stored in damp or humid environments, such as basements or poorly ventilated areas.
Chimneys and Fireplaces: Mold can develop in chimneys and fireplaces due to moisture buildup from rain or condensation, particularly in unused or poorly maintained ones.
Underneath Carpets and Rugs: Mold can grow underneath carpets and rugs if there's moisture present, such as from spills or leaks that seep into the subfloor.
Mattresses and Pillows: Mold can develop on mattresses and pillows if they're exposed to moisture from sweat or spills and not adequately dried.
Appliances: Mold can grow in appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines if there's moisture buildup or leaks in their seals or hoses.
