FL-licensed, insurance-friendly water & mold restoration for Town 'n' Country homes and businesses — on call day or night since 2004.
Mold can find its way into many different areas of a home or apartment that you might not think is possible. With the right conditions, such as with enough moisture present, a low amount of sunlight, and more, mold can grow in just about anyplace imaginable, and on many different surfaces as well.
One common way that homeowners end up dealing with mold growth in new places of their home besides the bathroom or the kitchen is due to recent flooding or appliance malfunction.
When a situation like this happens, it can lead to mold in walls. Town n Country residents may not think that mold growth into the walls of a home is possible. Mold in the walls of a home can be hard to locate, and some homeowners may not even think that there is an issue until it is too late.
All Mold in Wall Issues Stem From Water Issues
As stated above, one of the primary conditions that needs to be in place for mold to start growing anywhere, but also in the walls of a home, is that there needs to be water present. The source of water can be from the inside or outside the home, and there are different areas of the home that can end up getting wet and causing mold to grow inside the walls of a home.
When it comes to mold in walls, Town n Country residents should be careful with water building up around the foundation of their home. Typically, the source of this flooding comes from natural causes, such as seasonal weather or severe storms.
When the water from the outside of the home makes its way through the foundation of a home, it can easily cause mold to grow on wood and other organic material that may support the walls of a home.
Leaks Causing Mold in Walls
If it is not mother nature that is causing the moisture issue for homeowners, the problem may lie in the appliances or water infrastructure of the home. When it comes to mold in walls, Town n Country residents should know that many times the source that causes it is leaky pipes.
Leaky pipes are easy to identify in areas of the home that they are exposed to, such as in the basement of the home if there is one present. However, water pipes in the walls of a home that have a leak are much harder to identify.
Another area of the home where a leak can end up causing mold into the walls of a residence is a leaky roof. Many times when this is an issue that is causing mold growth, it will first be identified in the attic of a home.

Mr. Dry Out was outstanding. Matt and Frankie came to my home punctual and professional, got the job done in a timely manner, and were extremely personable. If I ever have water issues again I'll ask for these men personally. Five stars.
