Mold can grow after water damage within 48 hours. One thing is for sure,  even a minor leak can lead to mold growth. Unfortunately, many leaks that occur in our homes are hidden away behind walls, underneath floorboards, and in ceilings.

Mold can cause a number of health issues including  headaches, stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Some people, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions. 

Whether you are buying or selling it is always good to make sure your house has acceptable mold levels. In fact, you will never have a home without any mold. Mold is everywhere and it is a matter of keeping it at an acceptable level.

Mold can also have a direct affect on your baby's health. Although babies with other allergies might be particularly vulnerable to mold, your baby can have a reaction to mold even if he/she is relatively healthy. Many babies can become allergic to mold even if they are not allergic to anything else, and the effects can be very harmful.

All mold needs to grow is the presence of mold spores, a surface to grow on. This involves warmth, oxygen, and moisture. Many times that musty odor you are smelling is not “just” mold.  This is often a result of a  chemical compounds released at different stages of the mold growth cycle.
