Remodeling Your Bathroom? Check for Mold

What is Mold?

Mold is a type of fungus. Though some types of mold are harmless, in some cases mold—particularly the strain known as black mold—can cause potentially serious allergic reactions. In rare situations, it can even be fatal. Mold has a way of propagating itself and growing worse and worse over time, so you must get the problem taken care of as quickly as possible.

Where Does Mold Grow?

Though mold can grow anywhere there’s moisture, it frequently shows up in bathrooms. That’s because mold loves moisture, and the steam from showers and sinks provides a moist environment where mold can thrive.

As you work through your bathroom remodeling project, you’ll want to pay close attention to the surfaces you uncover. Mold can grow behind walls or wallpaper, underneath the floor, on the ceiling, in the bathtub, and pretty much anywhere else you can imagine. Here are some signs of mold growth:

• You may experience an allergic reaction (respiratory problems, sneezing, headaches, etc.) while remodeling your bathroom.
• You notice a musty or damp smell as you’re remodeling.
• You find a plumbing leak. If you find pooled water or water stains during your remodel, there’s a good chance you’ve had a plumbing leak—which often leads to mold growth.
• You notice stains, particularly darkish stains, on any surface. Remember that mold can come in a variety of colors (it’s not just green or black.)
