Older homes and winter freezes
Stamford’s older homes bring aging plumbing and basements that take on seepage, and New England winters add burst-pipe risk that often surfaces at the thaw. Cool, damp basements then feed mold if moisture lingers — understanding the mold growth timeline helps explain why fast drying matters.
