Early indications are that this summer we will be experiencing a very busy monsoon season in the upper Colorado River Valley. Aside from pockets of torrential rains that transform dry washes into rivers, this means afternoons with higher than normal humidity. And higher humidity means that conditions are ideal for the growth of mildew and mold.
There are similarities between mold and mildew. Both thrive in moist, warm areas. In the right conditions both can grow on most any surface. Both mold and mildew can cause extensive damage. And both of these fungi can pose health risks.
Mildew can often be cleaned with off the shelf products and a scrub brush. Mold is seldom merely a surface issue. Often the problem can be much deeper, and as a result, much more damaging.
But property damage that is potentially costly to repair is one of the serious issues linked to mold infestations. Asthma, watery eyes, sneezing and sinus infections as well as chronic lung disease have all been attributed to mold exposure.
