Why Bergenfield Homes Are Vulnerable to Mold

Bergenfield's climate, characterized by humid summers and frequent rainstorms, increases the risk of water damage and subsequent mold growth. Homes here, often mid-century colonials and split-levels, may have basements prone to flooding due to the area's clay-rich soil that retains moisture. Additionally, aging infrastructure can lead to plumbing leaks and sewage backups, making mold prevention a critical service for local homeowners.
