Mold On Exterior Of Home

Mold is common outdoors and you can't be expected to prevent mold spores from landing on the outside of your home or to keep moisture off the exterior of your home.

Exterior mold is a problem because it doesn't always stay outside, for instance, mold on your roof may soon find its way into your attic and mold on your walls may soon find its way into your home through your windows and doors.

Outside mold does carry health risks however the risks are not as great as with inside mold. Children and elders are particularly susceptible to mold related health problems.

Mold can damage your home, whether it grows inside or outside. Some materials are more easily damaged by mold than others. Mold will literally eat away wood over time. Almost all materials will be damaged by mold to some extent given enough time, so the presence of mold can bring down the value of your property. Of course, most homeowners also dislike the way mold looks growing on the exterior of their homes.
