Mold is thought to be a seasonal problem but that is not the case at all. Others think that the cold will get rid of mold, but it still has the ability to grow indoors even in the winter!

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 

Though mold can be mainly found outdoors, it can also be found indoors through any time of the year: Summer, Fall, Autumn, Winter. Not only does it cause damage to your home, but it can also cause complications to your health. We are a certified mold remediation firm that understands and adheres to a standard process for remediating mold in your home or business.

When the growth has affected any portion of your home, it is best to hire a professional mold remediation company like Code Blu Restoration.

Experts say that attempting to remove mold on your own can be a useless effort and may actual cause increased spread of health harming mold particles.

If mold has already spread in your home, into your HVAC system to multiple areas of your wall, or if unexplainable health issues occur, then it’s time to talk to a professional mold remediation experts.
