Causes of Mold in Basement There are many sources
of moisture found in the basement. And any water
problem in the basement usually takes a long time
to dry out. This is because the basement gets no
sunlight, very little ventilation and is often
humid.

Condensation Causes Mold in Basement High
humidity plus the often cold temperatures in the
basement produces a lot of condensation.
Condensation collects on cold metal pipes, cold
concrete basement floors (even if there is carpet
over the top) and on walls.

Flooding and Basement Mold One of the biggest
causes of mold in the basement is flooding. If a
house is flooded, water runs down to the basement
and stays there long after the other rooms have
dried.

Preventing Mold After a Flood After a flood the
best thing you can do is contact a mold
remediation company or water damage specialist
who perform clean ups of homes after floods.

Mold from Basement Leaks Leaking pipes in the
basement or in nearby rooms lead to basement mold
growth. Water in the ground can also find its way
into the basement through cracks in the walls.

Basement Humidity and Mold Once water in the
basement evaporates it raises the humidity level
in the basement. The humidity then usually stays
high thanks to poor ventilation and no sunlight.

Signs of Mold in Basement One of the clearest
signs that you have mold in your basement is the
smell. Because of the stagnant air in the
basement, odors build up and become very
noticeable.
