Humid Summer Heat May Result In Mold Growth

Time once again to remind New Jersey residents about the possibility of hot, humid weather leading to the formation of mold in one’s home. Wet clothes, towels and swimsuits left lying on the floor are ideal breeding grounds for mold. Condensation from refrigerators and air-conditioners, and rain puddles are also places where mold can grow. Wet surfaces should be wiped dry right away when possible to prevent the possibility of mold formation.

Basement humidity can be minimized with a humidifier. Ventilation around the home is essential this time of year, and so is keeping an eye on areas that collect water in your home. Hot, humid summer weather can result in too much moisture in the air and on surfaces, and allow mold to form.

Some types of mold are visible and can be detected by smell. Most mold however, is wafting in the air and is undetectable by visibility or odor.
