Does Mold Form In The Home In Winter?

Although we usually think of mold forming during hot, humid summers in New Jersey, in winter mold forms in places where it doesn’t generally appear. Ice and snow can leave pools of water when they melt and this is where mold will grow. Hunidifiers, heating systems and plumbing systems can leak water inside the home from condensation. Always check for wet spots after snow, ice and rain.
