What Every Colorado Springs Homeowner Needs to Know About Mold

While Colorado’s dry climate might seem like it would prevent mold, that’s not always the case. Our sudden snow melts, heavy summer rains, and flooding from burst pipes create the perfect conditions for mold growth—especially in basements, attics, and crawl spaces.

Once mold takes hold, it spreads quickly and can:

  • Trigger asthma and allergies

  • Damage drywall, flooring, and wood framing

  • Create an unsafe living environment

Signs You Might Have Mold in Your Home

Not sure if mold is lurking behind your walls or beneath your floors? Here are some warning signs to look for:

  • Musty or earthy smells

  • Discoloration on walls or ceilings

  • Peeling paint or bubbling wallpaper

  • Persistent cold-like symptoms or breathing issues

 

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to call a professional for a mold inspection.
