Mold is a very common problem that can often be seen with surfaces made of paper, drywall, windows, ceilings, tiles, bathrooms, and basements. Mold can exist in carpets and upholstery as well. It may not be visible in the initial stages when its size is small or when its color blends with the background surface on which the mold is actually sitting.
