To grow, molds need a food source, a certain temperature and moisture. Where these conditions are present, molds can germinate and colonize. How fast growth occurs depends on the combination of conditions. Spores can germinate after only 12 hours in some conditions and some grow in 24 to 48 hours. Houses offer an ample food supply-drywall, wood, insulation, paper. When these materials become damp or wet, settled spores can become growing molds.

Moulds growth can occur within 48-72 hours from the initial wetting period. If the presence of moisture is noted, then drying should take place immediately in order to minimize the potential for mould growth.

Black mold grows when the relative humidity is kept above 55%, and when where is a water intrusion, Like a leaking pipe or a flood.

Look in damp dark places if you think you may have it. In dresser drawers, under the drywall along the floor, and in a crawlspace if applicable.

Black mold can grow in as little as 24 hours in severe conditions.
