Sanibel Mold grows on organic matter. It will grow on paper, dirt, wood and soap scum. Sanibel Mold likes wet materials and must have moisture to grow but high humidity alone is enough to support mold growth. Any flooded area that is not quickly and properly dried is likely to have mold growth. Interior and exterior walls need air circulation inside the wall to completely dry the structural materials. Any area that is stained from water should be examined for Sanibel mold growth. Peeling or bubbles in paint may also be an indication of wet walls.
