About Mold

KCHD does not have an active inspection program for investigating mold or mold concerns in residential or commercial buildings.


Molds are small organisms found almost everywhere, inside and outside. They can be nearly any color and are beneficial to the environment . If allowed to grow in large quantities in the home, mold can affect the respiratory health of those who live there. Two main things that mold spores need to grow are: a food source and a source of moisture.
