Mold is part of the fungi family, along with mushrooms, yeast and mildew. Mold is a microscopic organism which produces mold spores that become airborne. Mold spores are everywhere in our environment and are usually dormant. However, when mold becomes damp due to water intrusion or high relative humidity (in excess of 60%), mold will multiply. Mold produces enzymes which digest organic material such as drywall, carpet, paper, cloths, books and even wood. When excessive moisture accumulates in a building or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed.
