Mold Inside Interiors Walls

Mold Inside Walls

If you have mold growing inside your walls and you are aware of it, more than likely you have a severe mold infestation that is about to take over your home or building. Sometimes mold grows on the outside of walls without actually being inside the wall. In most cases though, if you see mold on a wall anywhere inside, it is usually growing on the inside of the walls as well. In order to fix the problem you have to find the source of the water damage or excess moisture that is causing the mold to grow. After the problem is is rectified, then the mold removal processes begin.

Is Mold Hiding Inside Your Walls?

Mold inside walls is one of the most dangerous types of indoor mold infestations. Often, what appears on the surface of your walls is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind the drywall, mold may be thriving unseen, feeding on moisture, wood, insulation, and other organic building materials.

If left untreated, wall mold can:

• Spread throughout the structure of your home or building
• Cause persistent musty odors
• Trigger allergies, asthma attacks, respiratory infections, and other health problems
• Compromise the structural integrity of walls, studs, and insulation

How Wall Mold Grows

Mold requires three things to grow: moisture, warmth, and a food source. In walls, this often comes from:

• Leaky pipes inside walls
• Roof leaks and water intrusion
• Condensation from poor insulation
• HVAC system leaks
• Bathroom or kitchen water damage

Once inside, mold spores can spread quickly, contaminating other rooms and surfaces through air movement and tiny cracks.
