The main parts of buildings\u00a0affected by this problem are attics, ceilings and basements.<\/p>\n<p>Ice dams, which form on roof eaves, prevent melting snow from flowing away from building interiors. Instead, it backs up under the eaves and enters the attic, where it causes damp conditions that allow mold to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Storm drains that melting snow\u00a0would normally flow into have been covered by large piles of snow. This\u00a0can cause melting snow\u00a0to enter basements and lead to flooding, which\u00a0increases the risk of mold growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Should Property Owners Do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Residential and commercial property owners in NJ and NYC should be on the lookout for signs of water damage in their attic, ceilings or basement, such as leaks or flooding, and have those problems taken care of right away to reduce the risk of mold growth.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a mold problem in your home or business, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/free-mold-treatment-quote.php\" target=\"_blank\">Stern Mold<\/a> today.
