Molds usually enter a home through spores that pass through open doorways, ventilation, windows, heating and air conditioning systems that have outdoor air intakes. The mold spores also attach to humans, animals, shoes, clothing, bags and other objects that are capable of carrying spores.
When spores reach a place of moisture, especially those places where there is excessive moisture, they will attach and multiply. This will serve as their breeding ground. Molds usually grow in moisture-rich places as well as cool and dark or dimly lit places. The most common places where molds grow are in roofs, pipes, walls and plant pipes.
