Mold is everywhere. Many molds are found outdoors but can easily be transported indoors on clothing, shoes, pets, or simply airflow. Mold can be found in house dust and on almost every surface within a home.
Once indoors, mold needs moisture to grow. If dampness or moisture is not removed from the home, there is a higher likelihood that mold will grow. Houses with poor ventilation, poor insulation, inadequate heating, or overcrowding are more likely to have problems with moisture or dampness and mold growth. In the United States, it is estimated that roughly 50% of houses have dampness or mold issues.1
