Drywall is a mold magnet! Because it’s porous, it absorbs moisture quickly—creating the perfect environment for mold to grow. On the other hand, baseboards (usually wood or MDF) have smoother, often sealed surfaces that resist moisture better.
But don’t let that fool you—baseboards can still grow mold if moisture lingers long enough, especially in humid or poorly ventilated areas like bathrooms, basements, or behind furniture.
Tip: If you notice musty odors or discoloration, inspect both drywall and baseboards closely. Catching mold early can save you money and protect your health!
