Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — March is one of the most common months for mold to start spreading in Michigan homes. As the weather shifts, moisture levels rise, snow melts, and indoor humidity increases. Mold spores only need three things to grow:

1. Moisture
2. Warmth
3. A surface to feed on

All three are present as soon as temperatures climb above freezing and homes stay sealed up for warmth.

Problem spots often include:

• Basements and crawl spaces
• Areas where melted snow leaked in
• Rooflines or attics affected by ice dams
• Under-skirting areas of mobile homes with inadequate ventilation
• Walls or floors that absorbed moisture during winter

If you notice musty smells, dark spots, or worsening allergies, it’s important to address the source quickly. Homesaver Contracting Company can identify moisture intrusion, repair damage, and eliminate the conditions mold needs to grow.
