What causes mold to grow?

Molds need moisture to grow. Some household situations that lead to mold growth include:

1. Clogged gutters and downspouts
2. Leaky plumbing
3. Leaky roofs
4. Using hot water without venting the steam to outdoor air.

Also, when indoor air is warmer than outdoor air, moisture can collect on cold surfaces like single-pane windows, uninsulated walls, pipes, and roofs.

Preventing household mold

• Install double-pane windows or insulation to keep moisture from collecting on cold surfaces
• Inspect and repair leaks in roofs, gutters, foundations, and plumbing
• If you rent, consider taking pictures of moisture problems and documenting the situation with your landlord
• Review Home Moisture Problems (pdf) by the Oregon State University Extension Service
