Why Hackensack Homes Are Vulnerable to Mold Issues

Hackensack's unique geography and climate make it prone to mold issues, especially after water damage. The city is bisected by the Hackensack River, leading to periodic flooding, which can affect homes, particularly those with older infrastructure. Many houses in the area are charming Bergen County colonials and split-levels, which may have aging plumbing that increases the risk of water leaks. Combined with humid summers, these factors create the perfect environment for mold to thrive if not promptly addressed.
