Why Autumn is a Great Time to Eliminate Mold and Mildew in Your Home

north arundel contracting eliminate mold and mildew

If you don’t eliminate mold and mildew in your home, it can start to spread when the temperatures start warming up.

Homeowners need to take the time to inspect for mold and mildew around their homes. However, mold doesn’t grow in the cold. Although mold is inactive under 41-degree temperatures in many parts of the United States, fall temperatures can occur in the 40s and 50s with little sun and moist air. This makes an ideal breeding source, particularly on patio furniture and decaying debris. What is worse is that mold does not die in the winter. If you don’t eliminate mold and mildew in your home, it can start to spread when the temperatures start warming up.

North Arundel Contracting is fully licensed and credentialed to remediate mold problems. In severe mold cases, we are experienced in working with environmental hygienists to determine whether or not a space has been compromised to ensure public safety and health. Contact us today at 410-766-2855!

Helpful Tips on Eliminating Mold and Mildew

  • Move fallen leaves and other debris away from the exterior of your home. Piles of decomposing leaves can produce heat, and mold loves this environment. Unfortunately, the spores may travel by air, spreading indoors through doors, windows, and ventilation systems.
  • Clean your gutters and inspect your downspouts because clogged gutters with falling leaves are perfect for mold growth.
  • From cushions to children’s play equipment, clean your patio furnishings before storing them for the winter so you can eliminate mold and mildew.
  • Monitor the humidity levels in your home. If they’re above 65%, get a dehumidifier, as this makes it harder for mold spores to spread.
  • To eliminate mold and mildew in your home, keep the air circulating by using an exhaust fan or cracking a window when washing dishes or showering in the bathroom.
