The Most Common Household Molds

While there are thousands of species, these three are often found in mold damage cases in Sonoma County homes:

Aspergillus 

Often found in dust, HVAC systems, and stored food. Some strains trigger allergies or breathing issues.

Cladosporium 

Grows on wood, fabrics, and damp surfaces, causing skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.

Penicillium 

Known for antibiotic production but harmful when found on water‑damaged materials like wallpaper and carpet.

Where Mold Hides in Your Home

Mold thrives in warm, damp, and poorly ventilated spaces. The most common hotspots include:

  • Bathrooms: Steam, leaky pipes, and grout lines are prime growth spots.
  • Basements: High humidity and water seepage make basements especially vulnerable.
  • Kitchens: Leaks, cooking steam, and poor ventilation fuel mold growth.
  • Attics: Roof leaks or poor insulation trap moisture, creating the perfect mold environment.
