Can I Have Mold Damage in My Winston-Salem Home Without A Water Leak?

11/17/2020 (Permalink)

There are many ways mold growth can happen in your Winston-Salem home or business without a water leak occurring. The most common problem we see is inadequate ventilation in high moisture areas such as bathrooms or laundry areas. For example, simply turning on your exhaust fan or leaving the bathroom door open after a steamy shower can help remove moisture in the area, thus lowering the risk of mold growth.

Another example we see frequently is the HVAC leaving excess condensation. Either from clogged evaporator coils, blocked drainpipe, or even the wrong size cooling unit. If this is happening, usually, you will see mold growth on your registers or returns.
