“Bathrooms and crawlspaces are the usual suspects,” explains Abdi Nour, Project Manager at Ness Restoration. “The real danger is where you don’t look — behind baseboards, under carpets, above ceiling tiles, and inside wall cavities. That’s where hidden mold can spread silently until it’s a full-blown health hazard.”

Why Treasure Valley Homes Are at Risk Right Now

• Moisture + Time = Mold. According to the Centers for Disease Control, mold begins to grow within 24-48 hours once moisture meets spores.
• Invisible Spread. Even without visible signs, mold releases active spores back into your home’s air, fueling the cycle again.
• Health Concerns. Mold exposure can trigger allergy-like symptoms–stuffy nose, coughing, sore throat, burning eyes–or worsen asthma. Seniors, infants, and people with chronic lung issues face the highest risk.
• Long-Term Impact. Studies show early mold exposure may even contribute to childhood asthma development.

“Right after big storms is when mold takes hold,” Nour warns. “If homeowners wait until they see it, they’ve waited too long.”
