Why Fair Lawn Homes Are Vulnerable to Mold After Water Damage

Fair Lawn's unique blend of aging infrastructure and proximity to the Passaic River makes it particularly susceptible to water damage and subsequent mold issues. Many of the borough's post-war homes, including classic colonials and split-levels, have basements that are prone to flooding during heavy rains. The local climate, characterized by humid summers and wet winters, further exacerbates the risk of mold development. Understanding these local factors helps us tailor our mold prevention strategies to effectively protect your home.
