Now that the temperature is dropping, you may start to wonder what you can do to keep your home healthy and prepared for the colder months. 

While mold like growth may not occur more frequently in the winter compared to other times of the year in a controlled indoor setting, there are problems to look out for in the colder months that can affect the moisture in your home and cause mold-like growth. 

Common winter problems including frozen pipes and improper insulation can lead to more than simply a cold home. 

Mold like growths can be a scary concept to any homeowner, but here are some steps you can take to prevent mold like growth from growing due to the brisk temperatures. 

Ensure that your gutters are clear to help prevent ice from building up and that your dehumidifiers are running in lower levels of your home. 

Check that your attic and any pipes in your crawl spaces are insulated to help prevent pipe bursts or condensation. 

Following these procedures will keep your home properly insulated and free of mold caused by uncontrolled moisture levels. 

If you suspect any mold or mold like growth is happening in your home. We highly suggest you give us a call!

While we hope you never experience a disaster in your home or business, we do know we are ready to help you restore it in the event of one. Just give us a call any time  24/7 we are always here to help.
