Mold can grow anywhere and can attack virtually any part of your home. From drywall to tile, beneath carpets and even within appliances, no place is immune to mold development.

However, because mold needs a few specific conditions to thrive, there are some areas more prone to it than others. As leaders in mold removal, Rainbow Environmental Services is led by experts whose job it is to test for and eradicate harmful contaminants. Serving the Greater Cincinnati area, these professionals know just where to look for mold. Here are some of the places they find it most often in homes:  

• Bathrooms: These spaces are often smaller in size than other rooms, and between showers, sinks, and toilets, they’re exposed to high levels of moisture daily. As a result, mold can thrive within tubs, tile, and on walls.
• Kitchen: Like bathrooms, kitchens are also frequently a spot where moisture is present. Homeowners use a fair amount of water in their kitchens, making it prone to mold development near sinks, dishwashers, and on the ceiling.
• Laundry Room: Another area where experts often need to perform mold removal is the laundry room. Even the smallest leak in washer lines can cause moisture to build up. Because these rooms are often kept dark when not in use, conditions tend to stay damp, and mold can easily develop. 
• Basement: One of the most common sites for mold is the basement. Not only is this area more prone to flooding, but for most homeowners, it’s also completely below ground level. As such, the moisture levels soar. Compounded with darkness and warmth, basements create the perfect conditions for mold to flourish.
• Attic: Most homeowners don’t cool their attics, and the warmth can be an open invitation for mold development. This is especially true if you have leaky roofs, gutter problems, or poor insulation.
