What makes mold grow?

• Molds will grow anywhere indoors where there is moisture and a food source. Many building materials provide this needed food source-many consist of cellulose materials that are particularly suitable for mold growth when they are wet. Mold and fungi generally need a relative humidity of at least 60% to give them enough moisture to survive or significant moisture intrusion, regardless of humidity.
