Why Mold Grows in Sierra Vista Homes
Southern Arizona may be dry most of the year, but local conditions give mold plenty of opportunity:
- Monsoon moisture. Summer monsoons spike humidity and drive leaks through roofs, windows, and foundations – mold can take hold in days.
- Evaporative (swamp) coolers. Common in Sierra Vista homes, they add moisture to indoor air and leak into walls and attics when pads or pans aren’t maintained.
- Plumbing leaks. A slow drip under a sink or behind a washer can feed a hidden colony for months unseen.
- AC condensation. Clogged condensate drains and poorly insulated ductwork create damp spots in attics and closets.
- Past water damage. Any flood, burst pipe, or roof leak that wasn’t dried properly leaves trapped wall moisture – mold’s favorite starting point.
