Every January we get the calls, the one about the cold air coming in from somewhere. A damp or musty smell, a puddle starts to form around a window, or mold is noticed behind the couch. These are all due to the cold wet weather. Mold is a reality in western Washington. Mold can affect everything in a home from the roof to the trim on the base plate around the outside of the house. Ways to help reduce the chances of getting mold or dry rot build up are pull soil away from any wood structures and away from the siding. On the inside of the house look for low air flow points, like behind the couch. Mold and Dry rot flourish in areas that have low air flow and high moisture. Gaspar's has specialized solutions to mold and dry rot damage.
