The mold plant can be likened to a tree or weed, with roots and branches which embed themselves in porous materials. Mold spores are like the flowers of the mold plant that are invisible to the naked eye.
They enter our homes through open windows, doors, and vents, or they ‘stow away on our clothing, our pets, or items we bring inside. Once inside they seek a food and moisture source where they can settle in and germinate. Some of the sources of food for mold spores include gyprock, carpet, paper, cardboard, and upholstery- when these become wet or damp through humidity or water leaks, this presents a perfect home for mold spores to grow, and this can occur within 24-48 hours.
By the time this growth is found, it can have spread behind an internal wall, above ceiling tiles or underneath carpets, so early remediation is crucial to prevent further spread and subsequent health issues for vulnerable people.
