Mold needs three things to survive: warmth, food and moisture.
Warmth is readily abundant, especially in hot and humid climates.
There are plenty of food
sources for mold, including building materials such as wood, carpet,
ceiling tiles, drywall, upholstery, wallpaper and sheetrock.
Moisture is in its liquid and gaseous phases.
If you've read anything at all about Mold,
you'll probably know at least two things: Mold can create health problems and can ruin your property.
The best starting point ever if you need to learn about mold is:
