As warmer weather arrives, many homeowners start spring cleaning, renovating kitchens, clearing out attics and basements, or tackling long-overdue home projects. But before you dive in, be aware that mold could be lurking in damp, hidden areas. Let’s bust some common mold myths and explore what to do if you find mold in your home.
Myth #1: If You Can’t See Mold, It’s Not There
Fact: Mold can develop within 24-48 hours of moisture exposure and often stays hidden for 18-21 days. By the time you see or smell mold, it may have already spread.
Myth #2: Just Removing Moldy Materials Solves the Problem
Fact: Simply tearing out affected areas won’t stop mold from returning. Mold remediation eliminates spores and prevents future growth.
