When most people think of mold problems, they associate them with spring and summer rains. But winter can be just as risky, especially in homes that are closed up tightly for the cold season. While freezing temperatures might keep outdoor mold growth at bay, indoor environments become ideal breeding grounds for mold spores during the heating season.

Understanding why mold growth accelerates in winter and knowing how a mold inspection can help will go a long way in protecting your property and health.

If you own a second home or plan to be away for an extended period during the winter months, scheduling a professional home inspection before locking up can save you time, money, and stress. While many homeowners think of inspections as part of a real estate transaction, they’re equally important for ongoing property maintenance, especially before a house is left vacant during cold weather.

Whether you’re a snowbird heading south for the winter or simply traveling during the holidays, a pre-vacancy home inspection ensures your home is safe, secure, and winter-ready.
