When mold is mentioned, damp basements or leaky roofs often come to mind. However, mold can thrive in more inconspicuous areas of your North Las Vegas home. Knowing where to look and how severe these conditions are when found helps homeowners realize the need for professional remediation services.
Where You Might Not Look for Mold
Before any mold remediation in North Las Vegas properties can begin, you must find the active growth and understand the extent of the damage. A complete inspection and assessment of the property could uncover mold in some surprising locations, such as:
- Within Your HVAC System
In the desert climate of North Las Vegas, air conditioning is not a luxury—it is a necessity. However, moisture that gathers in the system invites mold to reside. Spores can easily grow inside the air ducts and vents, going unnoticed until they are released into the home and affect indoor air quality.
- Behind Wall Materials
Other areas notorious for mold growth are behind wallpapers and wall panels. Small leaks or condensation from temperature differences may trap moisture between the layers, creating an ideal environment for spores to take hold. Too often, walls go unexamined until peeling or discoloration becomes evident, at which point the mold problem might be severe.
- Under the Sink or Behind Appliances
Mold is especially fond of the small, wet areas behind sinks in bathrooms and kitchens. Similarly, appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerators may leak water or accumulate moisture, providing mold spores with the humidity they want to develop.
