Construction Professionals Moisture Training

Controlling and Evaluating Mold and Moisture in Buildings

Molds occur naturally and are always present in small quantities indoors as well as outdoors. In nature, molds help break down dead materials and can be found growing on soil, food, plants, and other items. There are approximately 100,000 species of mold.
Molds produce spores, which can spread easily through the air. Spores form new colonies and 'amplify' when they land on the right conditions. Mold should not be permitted to grow and multiply indoors. When this happens, health problems can occur and building materials, goods and furnishings may be damaged.
Many public buildings, including schools and courthouses have recently been shut down after the discovery of mold.
