Humidity gets trapped indoors
As we close up our homes to stay warm, indoor humidity rises — especially in basements, crawl spaces, and attics.
Heavy rains + poor drainage = water intrusion
Fall rain can seep into foundations or basements, especially if gutters are clogged or grading is poor.
Colder temps slow evaporation
ven minor leaks or dampness can stick around longer, giving mold the moisture it needs to grow.
The Hidden Dangers of Unchecked Mold
Mold isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a health hazard and a property value killer.
If left untreated, mold can:
- Trigger asthma, allergies, and respiratory issues
- Weaken structural materials like drywall and subfloors
- Spread rapidly behind walls, ceilings, or carpets
And here's the kicker: Most homeowners don’t even realize it’s there until the damage is done.
The Solution: A Preventative Fall Mold & Moisture Inspection
✅ Damp areas in basements, attics, and crawl spaces
✅ Leaks around windows, doors, or roofing
