Spring Mold Prevention: How to Keep Your Home Dry & Mold-Free as Temperatures Rise
Protecting Your Home from Moisture Buildup & Airborne Contaminants
Spring weather brings warmer temperatures, increased humidity and heavy rain — the perfect conditions for mold growth. Without proper moisture control, mold can spread rapidly in your home, leading to health risks and expensive remediation.
1. Why Mold Growth Spikes in the Spring
Mold thrives in damp, warm environments. Common springtime moisture sources include:
- Leaky roofs from winter storm damage.
- Poor ventilation in humid areas.
- Flooding from heavy spring rains.
- Condensation buildup from HVAC systems.
2. Signs of Hidden Mold in Your Home
Mold often grows undetected behind walls, in attics and under flooring. Watch for:
- A persistent, musty smell.
- Discolored walls or ceilings.
- Warped or peeling paint.
- Increased allergy symptoms indoors.
3. How to Prevent Mold Growth This Spring
- Keep indoor humidity levels below 50% using dehumidifiers.
- Inspect your attic, basement and crawl spaces for trapped moisture.
- Dry wet areas immediately after heavy rains or plumbing leaks.
- Schedule an HVAC inspection to ensure proper ventilation.
