Here’s a great example of mold growing without an obvious source of water leakage.
In order to grow mold, we need, mold spores, which are ubiquitous, food, moisture and the right temperature range, which we have year round in Florida.
This house has been vacant for 2 years with water and power off. Heavy mold growth is present on kitchen cabinets and wood doors to bedrooms. The mold is growing on dust, which serves as food. Without air conditioning, the humidity is high enough at times to supply enough moisture to support the growth of mold.
We normally don’t see mold growing in vacant homes, unless, as in this case, cleaning has been neglected. On the other hand, I’ve seen similar mold growth in occupied houses in clothing closets where the baseboards never get cleaned.
If you want to avoid mold growth, keep things clean and dry!
