As spring arrives with warmer temperatures and increased humidity, the risk of toxic black mold growth rises, particularly in damp or water-damaged areas. Black mold thrives in hidden areas such as behind walls, under carpets, and in basements, making it difficult to detect until significant damage has occurred. Preventing mold growth requires proper ventilation, controlling indoor humidity levels, and promptly fixing leaks or water damage. As allergy season intensifies in spring, identifying between mold-related symptoms and seasonal allergies can help homeowners take the necessary steps to protect their health and indoor environment.
