Southern Utah Basement Mold

During the dry, hot summer season most southern Utah residents aren’t concerned about mold, however there may be growth happening in the shadows of your home’s basement. Even though basements tend to be cooler than other areas of the home, temperatures are beginning to rise in the lower levels of your home. Mold grows at an increasingly larger rate when subjected to warmer temperatures. When the thermostat in your basement reaches mid 70’s to upper 80’s, that is when the mold is at it’s fastest reproductive state. While some areas in your home may have seen higher temperatures that are hot enough to debilitate mold growth and other areas are receiving larger amounts of light to further hinder the spread of spores, basements remain a safe zone for the possibly dangerous fungi.
