Frequently Asked Questions for Mold

  1. Can Mold grow in cold temperatures?

Different types of molds will thrive in different temperatures/conditions. Mold requires only 3 things in order to successfully grow:

  • Moisture
  • Food source
  • The right temperature
  1. Does mold die in the winter?

Much Like grass, mold is opportunistic and waits for the right time in order to start growing and spreading. Though it may be able to grow in the winter, if we are given extreme conditions such as below 0 temperatures, mold can become dormant and will wait for the right temperature to start growing and spreading again. 

Controlling the temperature will not solve any mold problems. The key to removing mold is controlling humidity levels enough to prevent the moisture.

  1. Tips for preventing mold? 

Below are some tips that can help prevent mold:

  • Keep humidity below 50%
  • Inspect pipes and leaks (Fix asap)
  • Use mold killers
  • Use ventilation during showers
