i work on irrigation systems. ive seen mold on many houses from irrigation. just try to adjust them to not hit your house very bad. you will probably almost always have to hit the house a little bit in order to get all of your lawn depending on house your heads are layed out.
the mold and mildew is usually on a house where they hit the house a lot, and it is in the shade so it cant dry out.
hope this helps

I work in the mold and consulting business as part of engineering firm. When I review plans for buildings I always indicate that to allow sprinklers to strike the wall will keep the walls wet for long time likely leading to mold growth. With moisture absorbing claddings such as stucco, brick, cedar this can create a serious mold problem. I'm familiar with a city building with water coming through the walls from the sprinkler system and there was mold growth inside the wall. There are a lot of variables climate, construction, materials. In my humble opinion don't water your walls or the base of your walls.

Not if it's got good sunshine daily..you don't say if the area is shady or not? I use the sprinklers to rinse off our house all the time, from the grand-children's messes, it's never molded there or near the bushes either for us..If it does mold use Dawn and bleach mixed 1/3 Dawn (dish washing detergent) and 2/3 bleach..in a spray bottle..use a sprayer to hit it with this solution when the area is dry, let it set, rinse w/the hose..It'll clean siding too.

Very probably, especially if any of the moisture it generates is in the shade. Concrete (especially foundations) are extremely susceptible to this, as they absorb and retain water. The dirt around the house can also. This will rely greatly on how it and your house is located. If your house has,say, a southern exposure, and the sprinkler is on the northern side, definetily yes.

No I wouldn't think so because your house will dry after it is wet. Mold only comes when it's wet for prolonged periods of time with no sunlight. Sunlight does not allow mold to grow or at least the kind of mold you are worried about.

Probably not as long as the water drains away from your house.

It shouldn't.
