Common Mold & Humidity Problems in Wisconsin

Mold, dust mites, and rot — these are common issues that can sneak into our homes, especially in damp and humid spaces like basements and crawl spaces. Let's break these problems down.

  • Common Mold: Mold spores are tiny particles that exist nearly everywhere. They just need the right conditions to grow: warmth, moisture, and something organic to feed on. Mold spores can be a serious issue for people with allergies. Approximately 50% of homes have at least one resident with allergies, and mold can be a major trigger. In fact, 90% of people with allergies are sensitive to mold spores.
  • Black Mold: While rare, black mold is highly toxic and dangerous when it infests your home. It produces harmful mycotoxins that have been linked to severe health issues, including liver cancer, lung cancer, nervous system damage, and more.
  • Dust Mites: Dust mites are tiny arachnids that thrive in humid conditions. They commonly inhabit areas such as carpets, sofas, pillows, and cushioned furniture. Dust mites leave behind allergenic fecal material, which can become airborne and irritate your respiratory system.
  • Rot & Decay: Moisture is the enemy of wood. In as little as 24-48 hours, mold and rot can start eating away at damp wood and cause significant damage to your home. Dry rot is especially serious; a mere 1% weight loss can reduce the wood's strength by 75%.

Mold & Dust Mite Health Facts

  • Mold and dust mites grow quickly.

    A serious mold problem can develop in as little as 24-48 hours. Mold spreads incredibly fast — over a billion mold spores can cover a single square foot of drywall in no time — and will continue to be a problem if left untreated. As for dust mites, a female can lay over 200 eggs within a few months.

  • Organic materials help mold and dust mites thrive.

    Mold thrives on organic materials, such as dust, fabric, fiberglass resins, drywall, wallpaper, glue, wood, and paint — all common elements found in basements. Dust mites, on the other hand, can be completely invasive without you even realizing it. As many as 1,000 dust mites can live in a single speck of dust.

  • Mold can survive the cold.

    Although mold thrives in warm, moist environments, it can also live in the cold. As long as the temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, mold can flourish in your basement or crawl space.

  • Mold destroys your home.

    Mold can grow on virtually any surface in your home. It also spreads quickly. All in all, crawl space or basement mold can cause serious structural damage and significantly reduce the value of your home.

  • Mold spores harm your health.

    Mold spores can harm your health through inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. It can worsen allergy symptoms and asthma-related issues. Even when mold is dead, its spores can still pose health risks.

  • Dust mite waste is allergenic.

    Dust mite waste accounts for a significant portion of the allergens found in household dust. It contains 15 potent allergens known to trigger allergic reactions. In order to control the allergens in your home, you have to get rid of dust mites.

  • Mold and dust mites are sneaky.

    Mold and dust mites can live nearly anywhere, creating a serious problem for your home. These are the kinds of problems you cannot see. It's important to take measures to eliminate all possibilities of mold and dust mites in your home.

As Glenn Fellman, Executive Director of the Indoor Air Quality Association, wisely stated, "If you are reacting to a mold problem because somebody's been sick, you've waited too long to address indoor air quality."
