Mold does not just grow during the warmer months. Surprisingly, mold can grow just as fast during the winter months. Winter weather is one of the main culprits of mold growth on your property. Severe winter storms can cause major water damages to your property. If this occurs and you do not realize it, then the water has time to grow mold. Mold loves dark and damp places like basements, attics, and crawlspaces. These areas are the perfect breeding ground for mold spores to grow.
How Do I Prevent Mold Growth?
The best way to prevent mold growth is to ensure you do not have any water damages on your property. Water damages are the number one cause of mold in homes. By checking your roof regularly for damages, you are ensuring you do not have mold growth. You should also check your attic and basement on a regular basis, as both of these areas are perfect for mold growth. If water sits in these areas for too long, mold will develop. Preventing mold growth is best done by preventing water damages.
If you have water damages on your property from a severe storm, it is best to call a disaster cleanup company. They will make sure all water is removed correctly and that the area is cleaned to ensure no mold will grow. If you do not hire a water remediation specialist, you could risk mold growth and other damages to your property.
If you notice mold or water stains on your ceiling or wall, it is time to contact a mold remediation specialist. They will remove the mold from your property and clean the area to ensure no new mold grows. If you attempt to remove mold on your own, you could risk new mold growth, as all mold must be removed to ensure it does not continue to grow.
