What is mold and mildew?
Mold is a type of fungus that can be found both outside and inside homes. Mold exists in the environment, but it can quickly proliferate if there is moisture present. Mold tends to appear as black or green spots, often seen growing on walls, ceilings, wood surfaces and around pipes. Mold releases spores into the air, which is how it spreads to other parts of the building.
Mildew is a type of fungus that often appears as a thin layer of grey or white spots on surfaces. Mildew tends to thrive in damp, dark, and warm environments where there is little ventilation, such as bathrooms, basements, and closets.
