Spring is a welcome relief after winter—but it also brings a surge in ‘spring allergens’ and indoor air quality challenges. Melting snow and increased rain contribute to higher indoor humidity, which in turn fosters mold growth in basements, attics, and HVAC systems.
Open windows invite pollen, while spring cleaning stirs up dust and hidden spores. Carpets, drapes, and upholstered furniture can trap allergens and biological particles, releasing them back into the air with everyday use.
Homeowners should be particularly alert to:
- Sneezing or congestion that worsens indoors
- Visible mold spots near windows or basements
- Musty odours after a rainstorm
Good ventilation, moisture control, and regular inspections are critical this time of year.
If you or your family experience allergy symptoms indoors, a seasonal mold and air quality check could be worthwhile.
