MELTING ICE + MELTING SNOW = SPRING MOLD

When we have a lot of serious winter weather at one time, we usually just think wistfully about Spring. However, as ice and snow begins to melt, Mother Nature provides us with some very handy built-in tests and checks to help us locate potential future mold, bacteria, and structural damage issues with our homes.

 Here are just a few pointers to guarantee a pleasant, mold-free Spring;

Attic: 

• As the ice begins to melt, go up into your attic and look for points of water entry. Check the lower end of roof decking for water due to ice damming.

Basement: 

• Look for snowdrifts against basement windows that might leak in as the snow melts.

Other: 

• As ice melts, look for wet spots under windows. Cracked or missing caulking and flashing can cause wet spots under the windows. That, in turn, can cause water damage and mold.
