Some of the most common places that mold is found in a home is not always the places you would think to look.\u00a0 Here are some different places in a home that mold is very commonly found but is sometimes overlooked.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Behind a washing machine unit<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Washing machine units are attached to a water line and are very close to the wall typically.\u00a0 They do not get moved very often or cleaned behind, because of this, a slow leak in a water line to the washine machine can cause mold and be unnoticed for a long period of time.\u00a0 All it would take for mold to start in a place like this is a small leak in a gasket for the water line or washing machine drain.<\/li>\n
  2. Under the kitchen sink<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Many people have a supply of cleaning products down below their sink, because of this it can often hide a small leak that happens or water running down your cabinet and then sitting inside the doors.\u00a0 The small area and ability for water to be actively leaking there lead it to be one of the most common places that mold is found.<\/li>\n
  3. Shower walls \/ ceiling<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Homes are not always built with the best ventilation in bathrooms, because of this it can be a breeding ground for mold when water and moisture is all over with no place to go.<\/li>\n
  4. Inside walls of the exterior of a home<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Siding or Roof tiles are not full-proof, sometimes they get cracked, get removed, fall off, get damaged. All of these things can easily lead to water intrusion happening in your home leading to mold on the interior of the wall.<\/li>\n
  5. Window Sills<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 You wouldn\u2019t think that a window would have much of a chance to bring mold into the home, however it has a great chance of that happening.\u00a0 When you open and close a window for years on end, the seal on the inside of the window can break down, allowing moisture to slowly creep into the home.\u00a0 If this gets worse and worse over time or goes unnoticed, it can begin to grow mold around the window sill or in the air.<\/li>\n
  6. Carpeting<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 To the naked eye many times carpet just looks dirty or discolored, however it is a very common place for mold to grow because of it\u2019s porous nature and gravity.\u00a0 Water wants to go to the ground, plain and simple, so the carpet naturally will catch a lot of the moisture and water in a home, if not cleaned up properly enough times it will start to grow mold in and under the carpet and pad.\u00a0 Something to watch out for in little children\u2019s rooms as they do spill things quite often J<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Overall, any area with either poor ventilation or the ability to have a water leak or water intrusion happen is a common place that mold can occur.\u00a0 With a little bit of moisture and warmth, mold can grow quite rampant.<\/p>\n
