However, bedroom mold is not always visible–often it can grow behind drywall or underneath floorboards. If this is the case, a professional mold inspector, through a virtual inspection, can use an infrared camera to determine if there is any moisture intrusion that’s fuelling mold growth behind your bedroom walls.

But don’t wait too long if you suspect a mold problem because long-term exposure to mold can cause debilitating health effects that can get in the way of your everyday life.

What causes mold in the bedroom?

Hidden mold in bedroom — Hidden mold on walls in bedroom

For mold growth to occur in a bedroom it takes a few simple elements working together:

Pre-existing mold spores (most often, these come in from the outdoor environment)
A viable, organic food source (settled dust and drywall are most susceptible)
A moisture content. This can be active water intrusions, condensation or elevated relative humidity (above 60%).
Inadequate ventilation (especially near exterior walls or in closets).

Mold can grow in as little as 48-hours if the right elements are working together.

Is it safe to sleep in a room with mold?

Sleeping in a room with mold can be potentially dangerous as it increases one’s exposure to inhalable, microscopic mold spores.

All molds are allergenic. Some molds are toxigenic, which can produce certain mycotoxins or aflatoxins that carry carcinogenic properties. Mold can affect people quite differently, depending on their immune system, pre-existing medical conditions (i.e., asthma), and age (infants & the elderly are more susceptible to harmful effects).

Exposure time to indoor mold is also a factor that can greatly increase the potential for health issues and it is always recommended to reduce your exposure time to indoor mold until it can be assessed and/or properly resolved.
