Why Mold Grows: Mold grows from spores that are carried through the air. Usually, a mold spore will land in an air duct, land between walls during construction or any number of other conditions. Should the mold get slightly damp, it will begin to grow, and will sometimes produce enough moisture on its own in order to continue to grow. Mold in new St Louis homes is often attributed to small amounts of water being trapped inside of walls and in air ducts during construction; this then turns into a breeding ground for mold that can spread through your entire house!
