Identifying Mold

Mold in a bedroom on the walls caused from a water damage.

"What Does Mold Look Like?"

The first thing to know is that there is active and inactive mold. Well, active mold growth is either slimy or fuzzy. The color of mold is usually green, black, orange or purple. On the other hand, inactive mold is dry and powdery and may be white.

The early stages of mold can look like a fine web, whereas mold in full bloom looks bushy. Mold spores spread really easily.

“Preventing Mold”

In the south we are at a disadvantage because of our humidity, but mold cannot grow when the humidity and temperature is lowered. On a day when the humidity is low, open your windows. If not, use air conditioning and dehumidifiers (empty humidifiers often).
