Winter's Stealth Invader: Understanding Mold Growth in Cold Weather

Woman looking at mold damage on wall. Call your local SERVPRO to assist in any unwarranted mold damage.

As temperatures drop, the threat of mold growth may seem less imminent, but winter presents its unique challenges. The cold season brings increased indoor humidity due to activities like cooking and heating, creating an ideal environment for mold spores to thrive. Poor ventilation and insulation issues compound the problem, allowing moisture to accumulate in hidden corners. Attics, basements, and crawl spaces become prime breeding grounds for mold during winter. To mitigate this risk, homeowners must remain vigilant. Regularly inspect and address any water leaks, ensure proper ventilation, and maintain indoor humidity levels. Professional mold inspections can identify hidden issues, preventing the winter chill from giving rise to an unwanted guest. Stay proactive to safeguard your home and health, as mold can be a persistent winter intruder. If you are experiencing mold growth, call your local SERVPRO.

A flood map of Salisbury, NC This will be the most important map you see for the next three hours.

Floods can be some of the most sudden, destructive natural disasters, especially since they’re not as much a regional occurrence as hurricanes or tornadoes. Anywhere there is water, whether it’s a river, lake, or creek, a flood can happen.

But you may not need to get all worked up and afraid–you may not even be at risk! Salisbury has only a few areas that are susceptible to flood damage, and has only a mild risk in the rest of the town. If you’d like to see what the risk is where you live, follow this link: Salisbury Flood Map. You can put in your address and select the layers you want to see to find out what floodplain you’re in, where the flooding goes, and how deep the flooding has been within the past year, hundred years, and five hundred years.
