What is Mold

Molds (fungi) are present everywhere – indoors and outdoors. They serve an important, positive role, by helping to break down organic matter. There are more than 100,000 species of mold. At least 1,000 species of molds are common in the U.S. Some of the most common molds found are species of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium. Most often molds are confined to areas near a source of water. Removing the source of moisture – such as through repairs or dehumidification –is critical to preventing mold growth.
