Celebrities Aren’t Immune to Mold Growing In Their Home

Even fame and fortune are no match when it comes to mold. Here’s a look at some celebrities who were forced to seek NYC mold removal, lawsuits, and other remedies for their home woes.

Celebrities vs. Mold

• Dr. Oz is a go-to expert for health advice, but he needed to bring in outside help when mold was discovered behind the living room walls of his home. Today Dr. Oz has become an advocate of mold testing, frequently advising his viewers to have their homes checked.

• Bianca Jagger, former wife of rock star Mick Jagger, was paying $4,600 per month in rent on her NYC luxury apartment, yet three environmental tests came back positive for mold. At that point, Bianca quit paying rent and began an extended legal battle with her landlord based on mold-related health issues.

• Doctors were unable to determine the exact cause of death for late actress Brittany Murphy. When her husband died five months later after exhibiting similar symptoms, speculation grew over the possibility of mold poisoning.

• NBA legend Michael Jordan filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against builders who installed stucco on his home after it retained water, resulting in mold growth.

• In 2011, boxing great Mohammed Ali spent $1 million on a Louisiana home that turned out to harbor mold caused by extensive water damage.

Mold Loves Cold Weather Because your Warm Home and Melting Snow makes your Home a Great Place for Mold to Grow.

Mold doesn’t fly south for the winter or leave your home for a winter residence. Actually, winter time can be conducive to new mold growth inside many homes, schools, and commercial buildings. People are likely to keep windows tightly closed to keep the warm air inside and cold air outside.

Holding all your warm air inside also holds in all the moisture. This can lead to high indoor humidity levels and an ideal environment for winter mold growth. The mold removal NJ experts at Stern Mold are happy to conduct a free inspection and provide advice on preventing future mold problems.

Likely areas for winter mold growth

Roof ice dams form along the edge of the roof and prevent melting ice and snow from properly draining off the roof and away from your home. The water held back by the ice dam can leak into your attic, ceiling, walls, and insulation. Once inside, the moisture combines with a food source of wood or drywall and the warm indoor air to become a thriving mold colony.

If you have one room that stays warmer than other areas of the house, it likely has higher humidity and could develop spots of mold on the drywall or in hidden areas behind dressers, chairs, or in the closet behind clothes.
