Where Can Mold Hide?

When you first think of mold in your home, your mind probably drifts to dark, damp spaces. Basements and crawlspaces are susceptible to mold, sure, but it can also appear in many other places in your home. Make sure you perform regular mold testing to assure your home is free and clear of harmful mold.

Kitchens

The kitchen is probably the third or fourth room to come to mind when you think of places for mold to hide. After all, it gets a lot of use, right? How can mold possibly accumulate in an area with so much activity? But consider the appliances in this room. Leaking sinks, garbage disposals  and older refrigerators are a hotspot for mold growth, so make sure to clean them regularly and fix any leaks to prevent it.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms are probably the least likely place people are going to suspect there is mold. But it is possible! It may seem gross, but your mattress collects sweat. Over time and without proper cleaning, mold can start to grow. When you’re performing an air quality or mold test in your home, make sure not to skip this space. You can vacuum your mattress and spot clean stains to reduce your chances of mold problems.

Bathrooms & Basements

Ah, the number one (and two?) culprits of mold growth in your home. Both of these spaces are consistently damp and hard to dry out. In your bathroom, mold can hide around leaky pipes and shower curtains, while cracks in basement foundations can cause water to find its way into your home without any way to escape.

Mold testing can help you identify if there is mold in your home. The earlier you can determine a problem, the sooner you can call in professionals to act. If you think you may have a problem in your home, call us at (603) 345-1900 to schedule a mold testing appointment.
