How a Common Household Problem Can Create a Disaster 

Many property owners understand the correlation between moisture and mold damage, but they might not realize how even unassuming reactions like condensation can also contribute to the problem. Condensation is a product of warm, humid air contacting a cooler surface like windows and pipes, which happens quite often through the various seasons Colorado residents experience. 

Where You Can Find Condensation Issues 

While issues like these might not always lead to mold removal in Aurora residences, managing moisture is essential to conscientious home ownership. This moisture can form in several spaces throughout a structure, but these are the most likely spots: 

  • Windows and Window Frames: This problem escalates in the winter months when the warm air inside homes meets the cold glass, keeping out the winter chill. Moisture can drop onto the window sill and frame, creating the appropriate conditions for mold to thrive. 

  • Pipes and Plumbing: Pipes carrying cold water are also prone to condensation, which amplifies in spaces through your home where humidity is already a concern, like basements or bathrooms. Damp piping affects nearby drywall, insulation, and wood framing.

  • Home Appliances: Appliances, from the air conditioner to your refrigerator, can contribute to condensation concerns. If moisture is not managed from these devices, it can impact nearby materials. 

Condensation Can Lead to Mold Development

Nearly every space in your home has naturally occurring mold spores in the air and general environment. Spores like these are harmless without moisture to activate them. Lingering condensation on surfaces provides the needed dampness to encourage mold spores to precipitate from the air, embed in surfaces, and colonize. 

Common building materials like drywall, wood, or carpeting provide a veritable buffet for organic-eating organisms like mold colonies. Because mold is difficult to remove once it forms, it is best to find quick and reliable solutions to manage condensation and moisture before they can create more significant concerns in your residence.
