Summer Weather May Result In Mold Growth

New Jersey residents have ideal summer recreation possibilities – beach, boating, boardwalking, barbecuing. Unfortunately all of this is often accompanied by very hot, humid weather. Wet clothes, towels and swimsuits dropped and left lying on the floor are ideal breeding grounds for mold. Condensation from refrigerators and air-conditioners, puddles from rain, are also places where mold can form. In other words, wet surfaces should be wiped up right away when possible. Mold grows in extreme humidity and on wet surfaces.

In the basement humidity can be kept at a minimum with a humidifier. Good ventilation around the home is essential at this time of year, as is keeping an eye on places that collect water in your home. Hot, humid NJ summer weather can result in too much moisture in the air and on surfaces in your home, and the formation of mold.
