How fast is mold spreading through my house?

Slowly. Then Quickly.

If your house is generally dry and has no serious moisture issues the mold spores that are present will get old and take longer to start growing mold. Once they start however you now have these fresh spores waiting to grow anyplace where the conditions are right for them to grow. And these fresh spores can grow much easier than the older spores which is why you may not notice mold for a while but when you do you start seeing it in multiple places. And those spores get into the air then get circulated throughout the house and thus the importance of getting the mold taken care of as soon as possible. If your house is prone to moisture it is important to take steps to lower moisture levels. Do not let mold get a foothold in your home and if it does form get it taken care of as soon as possible to keep it from spreading.
