Everything you need to know about mold: Part 1

A growing number of home buyers are opting to forgo home inspections in hopes their offers get accepted faster. The trouble is they are finding mold weeks even months after moving in.
Pete Georges of AdvantaClean of the Piedmont said they're seeing more and more people discovering mold. He joined us on 2 Wants to Know to explain what you need to look for.
Mold grows quickly: It only takes 24-48 hours to grow and spread in wet, warm conditions.
Undetectable: Excessive moisture behind walls, under floors, or in cabinets or closets are perfect breeding grounds for mold. This is mold that you often can’t see or smell but it can make you and your family very sick.
Bleach Can’t Kill It: Applying bleach can actually promote more mold growth on porous surfaces. A more effective treatment is an antimicrobial mixture made up of household items such as hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, or baking soda.
Symptoms of mold exposure: Severe body aches, joint pain, nausea, chronic, sometimes serious respiratory issues. These symptoms can develop quickly, or overtime.
