Mold in Buildings Mold is a common problem in buildings that
affects human health and can also damage or destroy building
materials. Because mold requires water to grow, controlling mold
requires a thorough understanding of how water enters and
travels (or doesn’t) through buildings. Because mold also
requires a food source, controlling it also requires an
understanding of which building materials are susceptible to
mold and how best to use and protect them. The following
documents address these key issues of water movement and mold-
susceptibility. They also discuss important topics such as
health effects, mold testing, and what to do when mold is found.
