Mold growth in the chimney is not a rare occurrence. Actually, it’s even very common. Molds generally grow wherever there is moisture. Sometimes they grow inside the cavities of our walls or inside our flooring. But oftentimes, they dwell in our chimney. You see, the chimney and the area around it are very prone to exposure to water. This creates a moist breeding ground and a very ideal nest for the molds to grow.  Now you might think molds are not really that dangerous and are relatively harmless so you wouldn’t want to waste your time on it.

It has a wide range of effects from simple breathing difficulties and dizziness to brain damage and impaired vision.
