Unseen Dangers: The Hidden Mold Lurking Behind Your Walls

Unseen Dangers: The Hidden Mold Lurking Behind Your Walls

by onsitepro.org

Just because you don’t see mold doesn’t mean it isn’t there. In Los Angeles homes, mold often grows silently behind drywall, under flooring, or inside ceilings after leaks or humidity issues. Hidden mold can be even more dangerous because it spreads undetected, damaging your property and putting your health at risk.

Why Mold Grows Behind Walls

Plumbing Leaks

Even small pipe leaks can create the perfect moist environment for mold colonies.

Roof and Window Leaks

Water seeping through poorly sealed windows or roofs can accumulate inside walls.

High Indoor Humidity

Inadequate ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens encourages hidden mold growth.
