Welcome back to the Buffalo Rainbow blog! We know that in these colder, wintry months you’re not really thinking about the possibility of mold growth too much due to the lack of warm, humid air outside. However, preventing mold growth is a year-round endeavor, and mold remediation is always important.
Preventing mold growth during cold, wintry months can be just as challenging as it is during the hot and humid summers. The outside might be bitter and cold, but the inside of your home or business is still warm and inviting for mold growth.
How Does Mold Grow in Winter?
Snow Melt
There are several causes of mold growth in the winter, one of the chief causes being snow melt. It’s a major contributor to mold problems in homes with roof, basement, or foundation issues.
Deep snow that’s lying against the side of your house and seeps or saturates an area of ineffectively protective interior walls can also be a prime spot for mold growth in the wintertime.
Condensation
Another cause of mold growth in the winter is condensation. Condensation can occur when warm air from your home or business smashes up against the cold air around the roof and the exterior walls. This can be a major issue in homes with insufficient insulation and can create mold growths between the roof and ceiling, and between outer and inner walls.
