Wilmington, NC, November 4, 2025 — After an unusually humid summer across Southeastern North Carolina, SERVPRO of New Hanover, Brunswick, and Pender Counties is warning homeowners and business owners about the increased risk of hidden mold growth. The local restoration leader urges property owners to schedule professional mold inspections to protect their homes, health, and investments.
“Prolonged humidity creates the perfect environment for mold to grow in unseen areas such as behind drywall, under flooring, and inside HVAC systems,” said Thomas Howard, Production Manager of SERVPRO of Pender County. “Even without visible water damage, your property could be at risk. A professional inspection helps stop mold before it spreads-and before it becomes a serious health or structural concern.”
Why Coastal Humidity Leads to Mold Growth
Mold thrives in warm, damp environments. Following months of elevated humidity, even well-maintained properties can develop mold from trapped moisture or poor ventilation. Early detection is critical-mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of exposure to moisture.
Unchecked mold can:
- Compromise indoor air quality
- Trigger allergies and respiratory issues
- Cause musty odors and discoloration
- Lead to costly structural repairs
