Causes of Mold in Bathroom

Mold requires four things in order to grow: source of moisture, organic source of food, supply of oxygen and warm temperatures. Of these four, excessive moisture is the main reason for mold to start growing in the first place.

Bathroom creates a perfect environment for mold to prosper. Lack of ventilation, constant water condensation and evaporation, steam from hot water, water puddles on the floor – all contribute to very high levels of humidity.

Among the main causes of mold in the bathroom are:

• Water Condensation on walls & ceiling
• Water Evaporation
• Frequently running water
• Wet surfaces after showering
• Wet surfaces from Hot Steam
• Water Puddles on the floor and around sink
• Poor Ventilation / Air Circulation
• Excessive Warmth
• Plumbing Problems (Leaks & Overflows)
• Broken toilet and bathtub seals
• Failed grout and/or caulking between tiles

Note: Simple preventive measures such as squeegeeing shower walls and wiping the floors and surfaces dry every time, can prevent mold from growing in your bathroom.

How Dangerous Bathroom Mold Really Is?

Mold in bathroom doesn't pose immediate danger to your health comparing to other possible places around the house. Mold contamination in the bathroom is often isolated due to the fact that most of the surfaces in the bathroom are tightly sealed. There is also a little chance for the mold to become airborne, since it has to be dry for a while before starting to release spores in the air.

Thoroughly inspect the area surrounding the mold: check if there are any cracks, cavities or holes that could lead water to the internal wall, drywalls and floor structure. Check out the integrity of all surfaces and seals around the bathroom – very often visible mold is just a tip of an iceberg and cold be a sign of a more serious problem, where mold could be growing for a long period of time without being noticed.
