Episode 78: You Found Mold… But That Might Not Be the Whole Problem

About this episode

This episode explores the relationship between mold and bacteria in homes and their impact on indoor air quality.

Everyone talks about mold in the home—but what about the bacteria that often come with it? In this week’s episode, we shift the conversation beyond mold to explore the hidden bacteria commonly found in the same environments. Many contaminated homes aren’t dealing with just one problem, and understanding the full microbial picture is key to creating healthier indoor spaces. Our hosts break down how bacteria and mold can coexist, why it matters for indoor air quality, and what homeowners should know when addressing contamination in their homes. If you think mold is the whole story, this episode might change your perspective.
