Winter is here in Minneapolis\/Saint Cloud, and for many homeowners, this time of year can bring quite a bit of moisture along with it. While moisture in the home isn\u2019t something that often gets talked about, it\u2019s quite common in Minnesota and should not go overlooked. It\u2019s a bigger problem than most people think and while physical damage to the home is certainly a concern, an even more problematic issue can be seen in moisture\u2019s effects on indoor air quality. <\/span><\/p>\n

Causes of Mold Issues<\/span><\/h1>\n

Mold is commonly discussed as being a problem which affects homeowners of all walks of life, yet many people don\u2019t realize how it <\/span>becomes<\/span> a problem in the first place. In most cases, the culprit can be seen in air leakage. It\u2019s not uncommon for homes to have small cracks and gaps scattered throughout, which can result in a great deal of air leakage and allow moisture to enter into the home. Mold is essentially a direct result of moisture buildup, and the problem only gets worse if left to fester.<\/span><\/p>\n

As one might expect, <\/span>moisture in the attic<\/span><\/a> can be one of the biggest problems. Attics are one of the more common sources of leakage and thus it is imperative that yours is sealed properly.
