Mold in your home isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a health hazard. And in Perry, GA, where humidity and rainfall can spike without warning, it doesn’t take much for mold to take hold. Whether it’s a musty smell in your bathroom or black spots in the corner of a ceiling, it’s critical to act fast. Here’s what causes mold in Perry homes—and how RightAway Restoration removes it for good.
Common Sources of Hidden Moisture
Mold starts with moisture. Even a small leak or excess humidity can create the perfect environment for mold spores to grow. In Perry homes, common sources include:
- Leaky roofs or windows
- Burst pipes or plumbing leaks inside walls
- Poor ventilation in bathrooms or laundry rooms
- Flooding or storm runoff that wasn’t properly dried
- Condensation in crawlspaces or basements
You may not always see the moisture, but mold often starts growing behind drywall, under carpets, or inside HVAC systems—places you rarely check until there’s a problem.
How Mold Spreads Indoors
Mold spreads by releasing microscopic spores into the air. Once airborne, these spores latch onto damp surfaces and begin multiplying. It’s not just limited to the original area—spores can travel through vents, attach to furniture, and enter other rooms through foot traffic.
That’s why mold doesn’t stay in one place for long and why surface-level cleaning isn’t enough.
