Note. It is important that building materials be able to dry; moisture should not be
trapped between two vapor barriers or mold may result.
Hidden Mold In some cases, indoor mold growth may not mold growth may not be obvious. It is possible that mold may be growing on hidden surfaces, such as the back side of dry wall, wallpaper, or paneling, the top of ceiling tiles, the underside of carpets and pads, etc. carpets and pads, etc. Possible locations of hidden mold can include pipe chases and utility tunnels (with leaking or condensing pipes), walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), condensate drain pans inside air handling units, porous thermal or acoustic liners inside ductwork, or roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation).

Some building materials, such as drywall, vinyl wallpaper over it
or wood paneling, may act as vapor barriers and trapping moisture underneath their surfaces and thereby providing a moist environment where mold can grow. You may suspect hidden mold if a building smells moldy, but you cannot see the source, or if you know there has been water damage and building occupants are
reporting health problems. Investigating hidden mold problems may
be difficult and will require caution when the investigation involves
disturbing potential sites of mold growth make sure to use caution by wearing gloves and a mask. For example, removal of drywall or wallpaper can lead to a massive release of spores from mold growing on the underside of the drywall or paper. If you believe that you may have a hidden mold problem, you may want to consider hiring an experienced professional.


Mold is very important for our environment. Mold is natures own recycler. We just dont want it in our home and workplace, says vonKnipe. Betanix® UK Ltd 1999 - 2011.
