Mold is a form of fungus and there are many different types of mold. Growing mold is a natural occurence that happens anywhere there is consistently wet organic material. Mold can grow indoors and outdoors with the right conditions.
It only takes 72 hours for mold growth to begin, if the conditions are right. This is because there are always some mold spores floating around. Mold produces spores, which spready by floating around the air. Every environment on Earth has some mold spores in it. There is no way to remove all the mold spores because they’re everywhere.
Water is mold’s food and most buildings are made with some organic materials, like wood, carpet, and drywall for example. Therefore, water damage leads to mold growth when you don’t properly dry things with the first 72 hours.
Mold likes to grow in warm, damp, and dark environments. When water gets between the drywall, framing, and concrete, the conditions for growing mold are also most perfect. The spores are always there, so they are just waiting for water to begin growing mold.
Mold grows by eating wet organic material, but it can also grow on other surfaces too. Any organic material like hair, dust, wood, or dirt can become a breeding spot for mold. Mold can grow on fabric, glass, paper, plastic, and concrete. As mold grows, it eats that material.
